What it is

Dry nonfat milk, also called skim milk powder, is made by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. The process typically involves evaporating the water and then spray-drying the remaining milk solids. This results in a fine powder that retains most of the original milk's protein and lactose content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dry nonfat milk for its nutritional value, as a source of protein and calcium, and to improve texture and mouthfeel in baked goods and confectionery. It can also contribute to browning and flavor development during baking. It is commonly found in cakes, cookies, ice cream, and processed cheese.

Health notes

Dry nonfat 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 products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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