The pH level of milk is around 6.5 to 6.7 and since it falls below the neutral pH of 7.0 we can say that it is slightly acidic. Interestingly, since the pH level is quite close to neutral pH some people or even experts claim milk as being a neutral compound.
However, the pH level can vary as there are different sources of milk. We get milk from mammalian species and even from certain plants. Non-dairy milk like cashew, soy, coconut and almond milk have pH levels of around 6. Other pH levels can be seen below.
