What it is

Non-fat dried milk, also known as skim milk powder, is a dairy product made by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. The process typically involves evaporation followed by spray-drying or roller-drying.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add non-fat dried milk to provide a source of protein and calcium, and to improve texture and flavor. It is commonly used in baked goods like cookies and pastries, as well as in dairy products, processed meats, and infant formulas.

Health notes

Non-fat dried 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 non-fat dried milk. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

Non-fat dried milk is derived from milk and is therefore one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
