Here is the nutritional breakdown from a milk producer website. As you can see they list carbs as 8 g per cup. Nothing is added to the milk except vitamins and Lactase. Lactase is the enzym that allows you to digest milk, so I assume it's added to help people with lactose intolerance digest the lactose that's left.

So where does the 8g carb come from ? Obviously not from lactose

Natrel Lactose Free 2% milk
