What it is

Non-fat milk powder, also called skim milk powder, is made by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. The process concentrates the milk solids, resulting in a powder that retains most of the original milk's protein and lactose content, but with very little fat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use non-fat milk powder as a source of protein and for its dairy flavor and creamy texture. It helps improve the texture and shelf life of baked goods, dairy products, and confectioneries. It is commonly found in ice cream, baked goods like cakes and cookies, and snack bars.

Health notes

Non-fat milk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated milk and milk products, including skim milk powder, and has not set a numerical acceptable daily intake (ADI).

Allergen info

Milk is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. Non-fat milk powder is derived from milk and therefore contains milk allergens.
