What it is

Dry milk, also called milk powder, is a dairy product made by evaporating milk until it is dry. It is produced from pasteurized milk, usually skim milk, by removing water through spray-drying or vacuum-drying.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dry milk to foods to provide a concentrated source of milk solids, including protein, lactose, and minerals. It is used in baked goods, confectionery, and dairy products to improve texture, flavor, and nutritional value. It can also be used as a binder or emulsifier.

Health notes

Dry milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of calcium and protein. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated dry milk. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Dry milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
