What it is

Nonfat milk, also called skim milk, is milk from which the fat has been removed. It is a liquid dairy product that is a source of protein and calcium. The process of removing fat typically involves centrifugation.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use nonfat milk as an ingredient to add protein, calcium, and a creamy texture to foods without adding fat. It is commonly found in baked goods like muffins and pastries, frozen breakfast items, and dairy products such as cottage cheese.

Health notes

Nonfat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It is a source of nutrients like calcium and vitamin D (if fortified). The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated milk and dairy products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Nonfat milk is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
