What it is
Dry non-fat milk, also called skim milk powder, is made by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. The process leaves behind a concentrated powder rich in milk proteins and lactose.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dry non-fat milk to add protein, improve texture, and enhance flavor in a variety of foods. It is commonly found in baked goods, dairy products like ice cream and yogurt, and chocolate confections.
Health notes
Dry non-fat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk and milk products. Evidence does not link typical consumption of milk products to adverse health effects.
