For all age groups in the UK, milk and dairy are major contributors to calcium, riboflavin (vitamin B2), phosphorus and iodine intake in the diet13-18. For young children they also contribute significantly to protein, vitamin A, potassium, magnesium and zinc intake13. In countries such as the US where milk is fortified, dairy foods can make an important contribution to vitamin D intake19, but this is not the case in the UK.
