What it is

Anhydrous milk fat is a dairy product made by removing almost all the water and non-fat solids from cream or butter. It is essentially pure milk fat, containing at least 99.8% milk fat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use anhydrous milk fat to add a rich, creamy texture and flavor to products. It is commonly found in chocolates, confectionery, ice cream, and baked goods.

Health notes

Anhydrous milk fat is a natural component of dairy products. As a fat, it is a source of calories and saturated fat. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend keeping intake of saturated fat to less than 10% of daily calories. The FDA considers milk and milk products as common food ingredients. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk fat as a food component, not as a food additive requiring an acceptable daily intake.

Allergen info

Anhydrous milk fat is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
