What it is

Dairy product solids are the components of milk that remain after most of the water has been removed. This includes milkfat, milk proteins (like casein and whey), and lactose (milk sugar). They are concentrated forms of milk, often produced by drying or evaporation.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dairy product solids to add richness, flavor, and a creamy texture to foods. They also act as binders and can improve the browning of baked goods. You can find them in cheese products, sauces, baked goods, and powdered mixes.

Health notes

Dairy product solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used in food. They are a source of calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

Dairy products are derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Not a source of gluten.
