Each Of The Following: Nonfat Dry Milk

Nonfat dry milk is a dairy product made by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. The milk is then dried, usually through spray drying, to create a powder. This process concentrates the milk solids and protein.

Manufacturers add nonfat dry milk to foods to improve texture, add protein, and enhance flavor. It is commonly found in baked goods like cakes and breads, as well as in dairy products, processed meats, and snack foods. It can also act as a binder and contribute to browning.

Nonfat dry 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 dairy products, and EFSA has also reviewed milk ingredients. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
