While fortification is optional, approximately 98% of fluid milk marketed in the United States is fortified with vitamin D to obtain standardized amounts of 400 IU or 10 /ig/quart (FDA 1973).

LDPE accounts for about 55 percent of U.S. sales of polyethylene. It supplies 41 percent of the 6.5 billion lb polyethylene film market, 53 percent of the 850 million lb injection molding market, and the majority of the extrusion, wire-and-cable, and shrink-wrap markets. HP-LDPE is widely used for higher-clarity applications. Its low melting point allows it to be coated or extruded at relatively low temperatures and higher rates than LLDPE. Extrusion coatings on paper and board are used to provide moisture resistance. Coated milk cartons and multi-walled paper bags are examples. It is used for...
