What it is

Non-fat milk solids are the pure, dry powder made from low-fat or skim milk. Water and milkfat are removed from the milk, leaving behind proteins, lactose (milk sugar), and minerals. The resulting powder is often used as a convenient source of milk components.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use non-fat milk solids to add a creamy texture, improve mouthfeel, and enhance the flavor of foods. They also act as a binder and can help with browning in baked goods. This ingredient is commonly found in ice cream, baked goods, processed cheese, and powdered mixes.

Health notes

Non-fat milk solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. They are a source of protein and calcium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated non-fat milk solids. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Non-fat milk solids are derived from milk, which is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Gluten is not present.
