What it is
Diafiltered skim milk is a liquid dairy product made by passing skim milk through a fine membrane filter. This process separates milk into different components, concentrating the protein and reducing the lactose and minerals. The result is a milk with a higher protein content and less sugar.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use diafiltered skim milk to increase the protein content of foods and beverages without adding significant amounts of sugar or fat. It is commonly found in protein shakes, nutritional supplements, and some dairy-based desserts.
Health notes
Diafiltered skim milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Diafiltered skim milk is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
