Household Ingredients Compared › Fresh Milk (Singapore)
The short answer, for plain milk, is: almost nothing but milk. The differences appear when you move to low-fat, hi-calcium, cholesterol-care, lactose-free and flavoured milks — where milk solids, added vitamins, plant stanols or sterols, stabilisers and sometimes sugar enter the list.
This page does not give a health score. It shows the ingredient list as printed, flags added sugar and allergens, and explains the jargon in plain English, so you can compare like with like.

If you only buy plain milk, this section is the whole story. Every product below checked out as a single ingredient.
Pack size: 2 L · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: 100% fresh milk
CP-Meiji states its fresh milk is made of 100% fresh milk with no preservatives, and that Meiji Fresh Milk contains 3.9% fat. Allergen: milk Pasteurised
What to notice: the sugar on the nutrition panel (about 4.8 g per 100 ml) is lactose, naturally present in milk — not added sugar.
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: 100% fresh milk
The difference from regular Meiji Fresh Milk is fat content only, according to CP-Meiji: Deluxe contains 4.3% fat vs 3.9%, giving a heavier, creamier taste. Allergen: milk
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Singapore (as printed)
Ingredients: 100% Fresh Milk
One ingredient, as listed on Open Food Facts for the Singapore product. Allergen: milk
Pack size: 1.89 L · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients: Fresh Milk (100% Australian)
Cold Storage lists this as 100% Australian fresh milk, “pure with absolutely nothing added.” Allergen: milk Origin: Australia
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients: Milk
The listing checked for this page is the 1-litre UHT product sold in Singapore, with Australian origin and no preservatives listed. Marigold also sells a chilled pasteurised bottle version marketed as 100% fresh milk — check the pack for the exact variant you buy, as pasteurised and UHT are different treatments, not different ingredients. Allergen: milk Origin: Australia (UHT listing)
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Indonesia (as printed)
Ingredients: Fresh Milk
FairPrice lists the ingredient as Fresh Milk, with the product described as free of additives, preservatives, milk solids and permeates. Origin: Indonesia. Greenfields also stresses single pasteurisation at its own farm dairy in Malang, Indonesia, rather than double pasteurisation after a long import journey — a processing claim, not an ingredient difference. Allergen: milk Origin: Indonesia
Same one-ingredient pattern, different origins. These were added in the second pass — they do not change the headline, they widen it.
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients: 100% fresh cow milk
Open Food Facts Singapore listing for Cowhead Pure Milk, 1 ingredient. Cowhead is a Singapore brand whose milk is described as 100% natural fresh cow's milk from New Zealand and Australia; the UHT process is what makes it shelf-stable, not an extra ingredient. Allergen: milk UHT
Pack size: not stated · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients: Homogenised and Pasteurised Low Fat Milk
FairPrice ingredient section, origin Australia. Note the wording: this is low-fat milk as the single ingredient — it is not a fortified hi-calcium product, so it does not carry the milk-calcium / stabiliser list that Magnolia Low Fat Hi-Cal does. Allergen: milk Origin: Australia Pasteurised
Pack size: 2 L · Made in: Malaysia (as printed)
Ingredients: Fresh Milk
Malaysian Farm Fresh listing gives the ingredient as Fresh Milk, allergen cow's milk; Open Food Facts for Farm Fresh Ausfresh likewise lists Cow's Milk (100%). FairPrice Singapore lists Farm Fresh Milk — Pure in 2L, and describes Farm Fresh as Malaysian farm milk. Allergen: milk Origin: Malaysia
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Japan (as printed)
Ingredients: 100% Hokkaido Fresh Milk
FairPrice ingredient section, origin Japan, product type Pasteurized, Fresh. This is the premium-import example of the same one-ingredient pattern: the difference is provenance (Hokkaido), not a different ingredient list. Allergen: milk Origin: Japan Pasteurised
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Full cream milk
Open Food Facts listing for FairPrice Full Cream Fresh Milk, 1 ingredient. Included to show the house-brand version follows the same pattern — though, as with all house brands, the pack for the exact size/variant should be checked, as FairPrice also sells UHT full-cream milk under a similar name. Allergen: milk
Added under the extensive scope rule: all brands available at supermarkets, including parallel imports, and also checked on Lazada, Shopee, Donki, Mustafa, Meidi-Ya and Le Petit Depot. The headline does not change for most UHT plain milks — Pauls, Devondale, Harvey Fresh and the French/Belgian UHT milks are still one-ingredient milk. The important exception is Dutch Lady, which is recombined from milk solids and milk fat, not 100% fresh milk — and Anchor, whose sources conflict, so it is not panelled as verified below.
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients: Whole milk
Pauls' own export site lists the ingredient as Whole milk, and states it is made with 100% fresh Australian milk, with no milk powder or preservatives. Sold at FairPrice, Mustafa (ShopMustafa UHT Milk category) and via Shopee/Lazada sellers in Singapore. Allergen: milk UHT Origin: Australia
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients (full cream): Full cream milk, enzyme (lactase)
Ingredients (low fat): Low fat milk, enzyme (lactase)
Ingredients (skim): Skim Milk, enzyme (Lactase)
The cleanest lactose-free structure on this page: milk plus lactase, nothing else. No added sugar, no stabilisers, no added vitamins in the list. Pauls Zymil is listed for Singapore on Shopee/Lazada/RedMart guides as well as Australian retail listings. Allergen: milk UHT Lactose free
Pauls UHT Low Fat and Skim (non-Zymil) are also sold in Singapore — Shopee listings describe them as made from 100% fresh Australian milk — but their full verbatim ingredient lists were not quoted here, so they are in the seen-but-not-verified list below, not panelled.
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients: Milk
Open Food Facts for Devondale Full Cream Milk (1L) lists 1 ingredient, Milk, origin Australia, no preservatives. Other Australian retail listings give the same pattern as “100% Full Cream Milk” / “100% Australian Milk”. Sold at FairPrice and via Shopee/Lazada in Singapore. Allergen: milk UHT Origin: Australia
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients: Full cream milk
Harvey Fresh's own site lists the ingredient as Full cream milk, made in Western Australia. Sold at FairPrice in Singapore. Allergen: milk UHT Origin: Australia
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients (full cream): Full cream milk, enzyme (lactase)
Ingredients (skim): Skim Milk, Enzyme (Lactase)
Full-cream list from Harvey Fresh's own site; skim list from FairPrice Singapore's ingredient section for Harvey Fresh UHT Milk — Lactose Free (Skim), origin Australia, 99.9% fat free. Same milk-plus-lactase pattern as Pauls Zymil. Allergen: milk UHT Lactose free
Pack size: not stated · Made in: Malaysia (as printed)
Ingredients: Milk Solids Non-Fat, Milk Fat and Vitamins (A, D3, B2) — Contains permitted food conditioners (stabilisers and emulsifier of plant origin)
FairPrice Singapore ingredient section, origin Malaysia. This is not 100% fresh milk: it is rebuilt from milk solids and milk fat, with added vitamins and plant-origin stabilisers/emulsifiers. Open Food Facts gives a fuller version of the same list — milk solids non fat, milk fat, tricalcium phosphate, vitamin A, vitamin D3, vitamin B2, E460, E407, E466, E471 — which is consistent with the FairPrice short list, just more detailed. Check the pack for the exact variant, as Dutch Lady also sells low-fat hi-calcium and flavoured UHT versions with different lists. Allergen: milk UHT Origin: Malaysia
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Milk (Fat 3.0% minimum, SNF 8.5% minimum)
Open Food Facts for Amul Taaza lists 1 ingredient, Milk, with that fat/SNF specification; ShopMustafa's UHT Milk category lists Amul Taaza UHT Full Cream Milk 1L with minimum 3.0% fat and 8.5% solids-not-fat (SNF), UHT sterilised, 180-day shelf life unopened. “Toned” milk in the Indian sense means fat-standardised milk, not a flavour. Note: secondary sources disagree on whether Taaza is cow-only or a cow-and-buffalo mix, so this page does not settle that — the ingredient list itself is simply Milk. Allergen: milk UHT Via: Mustafa
Pack size: 250 ml · Made in: New Zealand (as printed)
Ingredients (Open Food Facts SG listing — countries: Singapore, barcode 9415522001359, 250 ml): 100% FRESH WHOLE MILK. Labels on the listing: No preservatives, No additives.
Upgraded from described-only to panelled in the 5 November 2026 re-audit: the SG listing gives a verbatim one-ingredient list, consistent with the earlier secondary descriptions (100% fresh whole milk, about 3.3% fat, no preservatives or powdered milk). Flag: Open Food Facts is a community database, so this is still a secondary source — re-check the SG pack on publish day. Nutrition per 100 ml (same SG listing): Energy 259 kJ (62 kcal), Fat 3.3 g, Saturated fat 2.5 g, Carbohydrates 4.6 g, Sugars 4.6 g, Protein 3.5 g, Salt 0.113 g (sodium ~45 mg). Allergen: milk UHT Origin: New Zealand
Pack size: 1 L (sold singly and as 6 × 1 L) · Made in: France (as printed)
Ingredients: 100% Cow Milk
Le Petit Depot product pages list the ingredient as 100% Cow Milk for both the full-cream (Lait U.H.T Entier) and semi-skimmed (Lait U.H.T Demi-Ecreme) versions, country of origin France, ambient/UHT. Sold in 1L singles and 6x1L packs. Allergen: milk UHT Origin: France
Pack size: not stated · Made in: Belgium (as printed)
Ingredients: 100% Cow Milk
Le Petit Depot product pages list the ingredient as 100% Cow Milk for the organic whole (Lait Bio U.H.T Entier) and organic semi-skimmed (Lait Bio U.H.T Demi-Ecreme) versions, described as sourced from 100% organic cows, UHT treated, no preservatives. Country shown as Belgium / ambient on the listing. Allergen: milk UHT Organic
Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked:
This is where ingredient lists stop being identical — and where shoppers most often assume they are buying “just milk, with less fat.”
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Low Fat Milk, Milk Calcium, Stabiliser, Vitamin D3
Only four ingredients, but note what changed vs plain milk: the base is low-fat milk, calcium is added back as milk calcium, and a stabiliser and Vitamin D3 are added. Magnolia describes it as having less than half the fat but 67% more calcium than regular milk. Allergen: milk
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Low Fat Milk, Milk Solids, Milk Calcium, Stabilizers, Fish Oil, Vitamin D3
Same low-fat hi-calcium idea, plus fish oil as the omega-3 source. That adds a second allergen that plain milk does not have. Allergen: milk, fish
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Water, Fresh Milk, Milk Solids, Plant Stanol Esters, Calcium Carbonate, Emulsifier, Stabilisers
The first ingredient here is water, not milk — the clearest signal on this page that this is a formulated product, not just milk. Plant stanol esters are the cholesterol-care ingredient; Magnolia describes them as a natural, plant-based ingredient sourced from Finland. FairPrice lists plant stanol at 1 g and calcium at 500 mg for this product. Allergen: milk
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Milk Solids, Fresh Milk, Milk Calcium, Permitted Stabiliser and Emulsifier, Permitted Flavouring, Potassium Carbonate, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Lactase, Nicotinamide, Calcium-D-Pantothenate, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine Hydrochloride), Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Hydrochloride), Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin K1, Vitamin D3
Milk solids come first, fresh milk second — the reverse of what “fresh milk” suggests to most shoppers. The long vitamin list is the “9 essential vitamins” claim (A, B1, B3, B6, B12, C, D, E and folic acid in brand descriptions; the exact list varies slightly by listing/pack — check the pack). Lactase is also in the list, which is why HL is described as lactose-friendly. Allergen: milk
Flavoured HL is in the flavoured section below: HL Chocolate, for example, starts with milk solids, then sucrose, then cocoa powder. Do not assume the plain HL list applies to a flavoured carton.
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Milk Solids, Fresh Milk, Plant Sterol Esters, Milk Calcium, Permitted Stabiliser and Emulsifier, Vitamin C, Permitted Flavouring, Vitamin E, Lactase, Nicotinamide, Calcium-D-Pantothenate, Pyridoxine (Vitamin B6), Vitamin B1 (Thiamine Hydrochloride), Vitamin A Palmitate, Vitamin K1, Vitamin D3
Same HL base, with plant sterol esters added. Note the wording difference vs Magnolia Cholest Care: sterols here, stanols there. Both are plant compounds marketed for lowering blood cholesterol, but they are listed as different ingredients — this page does not treat them as interchangeable. Allergen: milk
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)
CP-Meiji states this milk contains added lactase and has no added sugar, and that it may taste slightly sweeter because lactose is broken down into glucose and galactose. The full verbatim pack ingredient list was not verified from FairPrice or the pack in this page, so it is not quoted here as a complete list. This panel must be completed from a pack photo before any publish step.
Allergen: milk (expected — to confirm on pack)
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Fresh Milk, Milk Solids, Sucrose, Oat Powder, Malt Extract (Barley), Milk Calcium, Oat Soluble Fibre (Beta-Glucan), Flavouring, Stabilisers, Vitamin D3
This is the clearest “added sugar” example on the page: sucrose is the third ingredient, after fresh milk and milk solids. Malt extract (barley) also brings a gluten allergen that plain milk does not have. Added sugar: sucrose Allergen: milk, gluten (barley)
The pattern here is consistent across brands: flavoured milk always adds sugar in the products checked — sucrose or sugar, usually second or third on the list — plus flavourings, and usually stabilisers/emulsifiers. “Low fat” on a flavoured carton does not mean low sugar, and “high protein” does not mean no added sugar either.
| Product | Added sugar | What else to notice |
|---|---|---|
| Farmhouse Chocolate Fresh Milk | Yes — sucrose | Fresh milk first, then milk solids, sucrose, cocoa powder |
| Farmhouse Peppermint Chocolate | Yes — sucrose | Flavourings (gluten) listed |
| Farmhouse White Chocolate (low fat) | Yes — sugar | Starts with water, not milk |
| Greenfields Chocolate Malt | Yes — sugar | Malt extract powder, skimmed milk powder, synthetic chocolate flavour with caramel colour |
| Marigold HL Low Fat Chocolate | Yes — sucrose | Milk solids first, then sucrose, cocoa powder — same HL base, flavoured |
| Magnolia UHT Strawberry (low fat) | Yes — sucrose | Low fat milk first, then sucrose; natural flavouring and colouring |
| Magnolia Low Fat Peach | Yes — sucrose | Starts with water; colourings listed |
| Magnolia Low Fat Salted Caramel | Yes — sucrose + brown sugar syrup | Two sweeteners in one list |
| Magnolia High Protein Chocolate | Yes — sucrose | Protein blend first, sucrose second — protein does not remove the sugar |
Pack size: 1 L · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Fresh Milk, Milk Solids, Sucrose, Cocoa Powder, Contains Stabiliser and Emulsifier as Permitted Food Conditioners and Permitted Flavourings Substance
Fresh milk still comes first here — the cleanest chocolate-milk structure on this page — but sucrose is third, before cocoa powder. Added sugar: sucrose Allergen: milk
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Fresh Milk, Milk Solids, Sucrose, Cocoa Powder, Stabilisers, Emulsifier, Flavorings (gluten)
Same base as Farmhouse Chocolate, plus peppermint flavourings. The “(gluten)” note on flavourings is the extra allergen flag to watch. Added sugar: sucrose Allergen: milk, gluten
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: Singapore (as printed)
Ingredients: Water, Fresh Milk, Milk Solids, Sugar, Flavourings, Emulsifier, Stabilisers, Calcium Carbonate
FairPrice ingredient section, origin Singapore. Like Magnolia Cholest Care, this starts with water — a formulated flavoured drink, not milk with chocolate stirred in. Added sugar: sugar Allergen: milk
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Fresh Milk, Water, Sugar, Malt Extract Powder, Skimmed Milk Powder, Cocoa Powder, Vegetable Emulsifier, Vegetable Stabiliser, Chocolate Synthetic Flavour (Contains Caramel Color Class IV), Salt
FairPrice ingredient section. Note the label distinction: Greenfields itself describes this as a Chocolate Malt “Milk Beverage” in background coverage, not as plain fresh milk — because, unlike its plain milk, it is not just fresh milk. Malt extract powder also implies a gluten-containing ingredient (malt, usually barley/wheat-derived — check the pack allergen statement). Added sugar: sugar Allergen: milk
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Milk solids, Sucrose, Cocoa powder, Permitted stabiliser and emulsifier, Calcium carbonate, Permitted flavouring, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Nicotinamide, Calcium-D-Pantothenate, Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine hydrochloride), Vitamin B1 (Thiamine hydrochloride), Vitamin A palmitate, Vitamin K1 and Vitamin D3
Same HL logic as the plain version, with sucrose second and cocoa powder third. This listing is from a Malaysian retail listing for HL Chocolate; the SG pack should be checked before publish, as HL formulations vary by market/pack (see research notes). Added sugar: sucrose Allergen: milk
Pack size: 200 ml (per pack; sold as 6 × 200 ml) · Made in: Australia (as printed)
Ingredients: Low Fat Milk, Sucrose, Stabiisers [sic — as printed on FairPrice listing], Natural Flavoring, Natural Colouring
FairPrice ingredient section, origin Australia. Short list, but sucrose is second. “Natural flavouring/colouring” does not mean no added sugar. Added sugar: sucrose Allergen: milk
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: Singapore (as printed)
Ingredients: Water, Fresh Milk, Milk Solids, Sucrose, Flavourings, Calcium Carbonate, Emulsifier, Stabilisers, Colourings
FairPrice ingredient section, origin Singapore. Water first again, sucrose fourth, colourings at the end — the fruit flavour here comes from flavourings, not from a fruit ingredient listed. Added sugar: sucrose Allergen: milk
Pack size: 946 ml · Made in: Singapore (as printed)
Ingredients: Water, Fresh Milk, Milk Solids, Sucrose, Brown Sugar Syrup, Flavourings (contains milk), Calcium Carbonate, Salt, Stabilisers
FairPrice ingredient section, origin Singapore. Two sweeteners in one list: sucrose and brown sugar syrup. Salt is also a listed ingredient here, unlike in plain milk. Added sugar: sucrose, brown sugar syrup Allergen: milk
Pack size: not stated · Made in: not stated (as printed)
Ingredients: Protein Blend (Sodium Caseinate (from Milk), Milk Protein Concentrate, Milk Solids), Sucrose, Cocoa Powder, Flavouring, Stabilisers, Calcium Carbonate, Salt
Open Food Facts Singapore listing. This is the counter-example to “high protein = no sugar”: the protein blend comes first, but sucrose is second, before cocoa powder. Added sugar: sucrose Allergen: milk
Not yet panelled — Meiji Chocolate Milk (FairPrice, 946ml): FairPrice lists “Meiji Fresh Milk — Chocolate” but its full ingredient section was not retrieved in this pass. An Open Food Facts Meiji chocolate milk listing (Thai-origin) gives Low Fat Cow's Milk, Sugar, Skimmed Milk Powder, Cocoa Powder, Butter Milk Powder, Stabilizer, Calcium Powder, Nature Identical Flavouring, Salt — but that is not quoted as the SG pack list here. It needs a FairPrice/pack check before it gets a panel, rather than assuming the Thai listing matches the SG carton.
All figures in the main table are as sold, per 100 ml, unless the Basis column says otherwise. Plain milk sugars below are lactose, naturally present in milk, not added sugar — see the ingredient panels. No Singapore Nutri-Grade (A–D) was found printed on any of these milk listings in this pass, so none is quoted here; no grade has been assigned. (A “Healthier Choice” label on some listings is a different scheme and is not presented here as a Nutri-Grade.)
Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.
Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as “added sugar”. Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted in the research notes. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sucrose, sugar, glucose syrup) versus naturally occurring sugars (lactose in milk, fructose in fruit).
Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked “not stated” were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.
| Product | Basis | Energy | Protein | Total fat | Saturated fat | Carbohydrate | Sugars | Sodium (salt equiv.) |

| Magnolia High Protein Milk — Chocolate | Per 100 ml, as sold (partial) | 54 kcal (227 kJ) | not stated | not stated | not stated | not stated | 5.2 g | not stated |
* Magnolia Low Fat Hi-Cal: the source prints salt (0.12 g), so sodium shown (48 mg) is salt ÷ 2.5, not a separately printed sodium figure.
† Meadow Fresh: the source prints salt (0.113 g), so sodium shown (45 mg) is salt ÷ 2.5, not a separately printed sodium figure.
Observed numbers, no verdict: among the per-100 ml rows above, Meiji Fresh Milk lists 4.8 g sugar per 100 ml, Marigold HL Low Fat lists 5.0 g, and Magnolia High Protein Chocolate lists 5.2 g; sodium ranges from 40 mg per 100 ml (Dutch Lady PureFarm) to 55 mg per 100 ml (Marigold HL) where stated. The flavoured-milk sugar figures for Farmhouse Chocolate, Magnolia Strawberry, Magnolia Peach, Magnolia Salted Caramel and Greenfields Chocolate Malt were not retrieved as per-100 ml panels in this pass, so no flavoured-milk sugar comparison is drawn here.
Conflicts flagged, not silently resolved: Meiji Deluxe 4.3 — the brand FAQ states 4.3% fat while an Open Food Facts listing shows 4.5 g fat per 100 ml (see ingredient-page note); its nutrition row is therefore not panelled. Devondale — a 150 ml listing gives 67 kcal, 3.73 g fat, 5.0 g sugars per 100 ml, differing from the 1 L listing tabled above; the two listings are not merged. Pauls — the row above is from a South Australian fresh-milk listing, not a separately verified SG UHT panel; the SG UHT variant needs its own pack check.
Seen but not verified (nutrition): no per-100 ml nutrition panel was verified in this pass for Magnolia Fresh Milk, Farmhouse Fresh Milk, Marigold 100% Fresh Milk, Greenfields Fresh Milk, Cowhead Pure Milk (UHT), Cowhead Low Fat (pasteurised), Farm Fresh Pure Fresh Milk, Yotsuba Hokkaido Fresh Milk, FairPrice Full Cream Fresh Milk, Magnolia Omega Plus Low Fat Hi-Cal, Magnolia Cholest Care, Marigold HL with Plant Sterols, Meiji Lactose Free High Calcium, Magnolia Low Fat Hi-Cal with Oats, Pauls Zymil variants, Pauls UHT Low Fat/Skim (non-Zymil), Harvey Fresh Full Cream and Lactose Free UHT, Amul Taaza, Prospérité Fermière, Laiterie des Ardennes, and all flavoured milks other than the partial Magnolia High Protein Chocolate row above. Their ingredient panels are unchanged; their nutrition figures are not estimated here.
Checked 5 November 2026 from: CP-Meiji Singapore FAQ and product pages; NTUC FairPrice product pages (ingredient sections); Cold Storage product page for Farmhouse; Open Food Facts Singapore listings for Magnolia, Marigold HL, Marigold UHT and Greenfields, cross-checked against FairPrice where both were available. Re-audit 5 November 2026: Open Food Facts SG listing for Meadow Fresh Full Cream (countries: Singapore, barcode 9415522001359 — upgraded from described-only to panelled, with per-100 ml nutrition); F&N Life SG page for Magnolia Plus Lactose Free Milk (no full list — seen-not-verified); FairPrice Meiji category pages (Meiji Low Fat Fresh Milk – Chocolate, Meiji Pasteurized Lactose Free Milk – Dark Chocolate, Meiji Multivitamin Low Fat Milk, Meiji Pasteurized Lactose Free Milk — listed, no ingredient sections); FFMB Malaysian distributor (Meadow Fresh Low Fat/Chocolate/Strawberry flavours — SG sale not verified). Full per-fact source list is in the accompanying research notes. Nutrition section added 5–6 November 2026: figures are standardised to per 100 g or per 100 ml where the source gives per-100 figures; per-serving-only figures are labelled as such and are not converted; sugars are total sugars as printed, not added sugars, unless the source states added sugars; salt = sodium × 2.5. Where a full pack list could not be verified — Meiji Lactose Free High Calcium — the page says so instead of filling the gap. Open Food Facts is a community database: its listings are useful for cross-checking, but the pack and the retailer's ingredient section take precedence if they disagree.
