What it is

Dry milk powder, also known as milk powder, is a dairy product made by evaporating milk. The process removes most of the water from milk, leaving behind a powder. It can be made from skim, low-fat, or whole milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dry milk powder to foods to provide a milky flavor and texture, and to add protein and calcium. It is often used in baked goods like cakes and cupcakes, as well as in processed meats like sausages and hot dogs. It can also be found in confectionery and infant formulas.

Health notes

Dry milk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and vitamin D (if fortified). Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk products. For most people, consuming typical amounts of dry milk powder as part of a balanced diet does not pose health risks. However, individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies should avoid it.

Milk is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Dry milk powder is derived from milk and therefore contains a major allergen.
