low-fat
Reduced lipid content
Low-fat describes food products with reduced fat content, typically through processing or recipe modification: low-fat yogurt, low-fat milk.
The term became ubiquitous during the late-20th-century dietary trend that blamed fat for health problems.
Low-fat products often compensate with added sugar, which has complicated their health claims.
