fluid milk ¾ cup 2%
2% materia grasa lactea


Explanation:
In the States, milk is either non-fat, 1%, 2% or whole.

Fluid milk seems a little odd. Maybe it's to contrast with powdered milk. It probably just means liquido and not en polvo.

Explanation:
I think it's important to say that it's fluid milk and not powder, since they went out of their way to state it in the text. I hope this is helpful! :-)

Here is some information I found about milk, I hope you find it helpful!


http://familydoctor.org/e369.xml

Tome leche. La leche es importante porque es una fuente de calcio. Sin embargo, si usted aún está tomando leche entera, probablemente está obteniendo demasiada grasa. Algunas veces la gente prueba la leche desnatada una vez y no le gusta su sabor o la manera como esta se ve en el café. Entonces vuelven a tomar leche entera. Puede ayudarle hacer el cambio de una forma gradual: empezando por leche al 2%. Después de 3 a 6 meses cambie a leche al 1%. Usted puede intentar mezclando leche entera y leche al 2% o leche al 2% y leche al 1% durante unas pocas semanas. Pronto podrá disfrutar de tomar leche desnatada.
