Noticed at the grocer that they have 6% milk now, when/where did this trend start?

      It’s just shorthand for Homogenization. Idk why we only call 3.25% milk fat homo milk however. Might not apply to anyone east of Manitoba either.

        It’s likely because 3.25% is just what comes out of a cow (on average) the other percentages all require other adjustments before they get homogenized.

          That’s interesting, I wasn’t sure if it was like bagged milk not being a country wide thing.

      Homogenized. Its more about the fat blended in to stay in solution rather than the actual fat percentage.
