What it is

A milk derivative is a substance obtained from milk through various processing methods. These methods can include separation of milk components, fermentation, or chemical modification to isolate specific proteins, fats, or carbohydrates.

Health notes

Many milk derivatives are recognized as safe by the FDA, often listed as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various milk components. While generally considered safe for consumption, individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies should avoid them.
