It is a marketing decision. Just like grades of gasoline, 87, 89 and 92, shirt sizes, S, M, L XL, XXL, egg sizes, M, L, Ex-L, Jumbo, etc. These percentages were determined to be ones that people could relate to and understand. Whole milk is 3½% by the way, but the percentage is almost never mentioned. So if you really want 1.5 % milk, just get some 1% and mix it with and equal amount of 2%. Don't laugh or dismiss this. I have done it, but just because I didn't have enough of either (LOL).

Skim milk, whole milk, half-and-half, whipping-cream and butter are all potentially kosher for Passover. The only difference between these is in the butterfat content (none in skim milk, almost 100 percent for solid butter).


Does skim milk lack something compared with 2 percent?

Yes, skim milk (or skimmed milk) lacks something compared to 2% milk. Skim milk lacks most of the milkfat that the 2% skim milk contains. Whole milk contains something on the order of 4% milkfat, and 2% milk has about half the milkfat of whole milk. Skim milk has most all of that fat removed. The skim milk contains only about 0.1% to 0.4% milkfat, and it is a better choice for those attempting to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.
