What it is

Dry skim milk, also known as nonfat dry milk, is a dairy product made by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. The process typically involves evaporation followed by spray drying. It is a concentrated source of milk protein and lactose.

Why it's used

Dry skim milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated milk and milk products. Typical intake from food is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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