What it is
Anhydrous milkfat is a dairy product that consists almost entirely of milkfat, with nearly all the water and non-fat milk solids removed. It is made by processing butter or cream to separate the fat component from other constituents.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add anhydrous milkfat to foods to provide a rich, creamy flavor and smooth texture. It is often used in chocolate, ice cream, baked goods, and confectionery to improve mouthfeel, enhance stability, and prevent crystallization.
Health notes
Anhydrous milkfat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. As a source of dietary fat, it contributes calories and saturated fat to the diet. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. As a common food ingredient, it is not typically subject to the same additive-specific evaluations by bodies like JECFA or EFSA.
Allergen info
Anhydrous milkfat is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA.
