What it is
Condensed whole milk is made by removing about 60% of the water from whole cow's milk. This process concentrates the milk's solids and natural sugars.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use condensed whole milk as a sweetener and to add a creamy texture and rich flavor. It is commonly found in desserts like ice cream, cheesecakes, and candies, as well as in some baked goods and beverages.
Health notes
Condensed whole milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of calcium and protein. Like other dairy products, it contains natural sugars and fat. JECFA has evaluated condensed milk and established specifications for its identity and quality.
Allergen info
Condensed whole milk is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA.
