What it is
Concentrated whole milk is milk from which about 60% of the water has been removed. It is made by evaporating water from fresh, pasteurized whole milk. The resulting liquid is thicker and has a more intense milk flavor.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use concentrated whole milk to add a rich, dairy flavor and creamy texture to foods. It can also act as a source of milk solids, contributing to browning and richness in baked goods. It is commonly found in chocolate, candies, baked goods, and dairy-based desserts.
Health notes
Concentrated whole milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of calcium, vitamin D (if fortified), and protein. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and milk products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects. As a dairy product, it contains lactose, which may affect individuals with lactose intolerance.
Allergen info
Concentrated whole milk is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
