Grade A nonfat milk powder is made by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. The resulting powder is a source of protein and calcium. It is commonly used as an ingredient in processed foods.

Health notes

In the US, Grade A nonfat milk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium, which are essential nutrients. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated milk proteins. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
