Here's some interesting info (from a slightly biased source, but true none the less) about additives in low fat dairy options.

Real milk (non pasturised or homogenised) products contain no additives.

Quote:
Powdered skim milk, a source of dangerous oxidized cholesterol and neurotoxic amino acids, is added to 1% and 2% milk. Low-fat yogurts and sour creams contain mucopolysaccharide slime to give them body. Pale butter from hay-fed cows contains colorings to make it look like vitamin-rich butter from grass-fed cows. Bioengineered enzymes are used in large-scale cheese production. Many mass produced cheeses contain additives and colorings and imitation cheese products contain vegetable oils.
It's worth reading the whole article if you're interested.
