What it is

Dairy powder is a dry product made from milk that has had most of its water removed. It can be made from whole milk or skimmed milk. The process typically involves evaporation and spray-drying to create a fine powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dairy powder as a source of milk solids, providing flavor, richness, and texture in food products. It's often found in baked goods, confectionery, powdered beverages, and processed meals where a convenient form of milk is needed.

Health notes

Dairy powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients found in milk. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy derivatives. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Dairy powder is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
