Each Of The Following:anhydrous Milk Fat

Anhydrous milk fat is a dairy product made by removing almost all the water from milk fat. It is a concentrated form of butterfat, typically containing over 99.8% milk fat. It is obtained from fresh cream or butter through a process of melting, centrifuging, and vacuum drying.

Manufacturers add anhydrous milk fat to improve texture, flavor, and mouthfeel in various foods. It is often used in confectionery, baked goods, ice cream, and snack bars to provide richness and a creamy consistency. Its high fat content also contributes to product stability and shelf life.

Anhydrous milk fat is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for its intended uses. It is a source of dietary fat, including saturated fat. The Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025-2030) recommend keeping saturated fat intake to less than 10% of daily calories. JECFA has evaluated milk fat and has not specified an acceptable daily intake (ADI not specified), indicating that it is not considered a health concern at typical consumption levels.
