Morphology
The sense 'milk from which nothing (notably fat) has been removed' is directly derivable from combining 'whole' (entire/intact) with 'milk', so the modifier transparently signals that the milk is not skimmed. This compositional, food-label pattern is common cross-linguistically and frequent in everyday contexts, so a B1 learner who knows both words will very likely understand the meaning.
Etymology
Whole milk: The name whole milk says it all — the milk is whole, with nothing taken out. Before people skimmed off the cream, the natural fat stayed in the drink, so whole milk came to mean the milk with all its fat, or 'full-fat' milk.
