USA Facts

  • In 1975, the average American drank roughly 1 1/4 cups of milk daily. By 2022, it was around 2/3 of a cup — but it was still the nation’s most-consumed dairy product at 130 pounds per person per year.  

  • Milk production is up but people are drinking less of it. Increased production is due to the US using milk to produce cheese, yogurt, dry milk goods, and many other products. Cheese consumption is up 179% since 1975. Americans are eating 608% more yogurt since then and using 161% more dry whole milk. 

  • Per-person consumption of cottage cheese and sherbet has decreased the most of all dairy products, with rates down 58% and 56% respectively.
