What it is

Not From Milk is a plant-based ingredient used to replace dairy components in food products. It is typically derived from sources like coconut oil, palm kernel oil, or other vegetable oils, and is processed to mimic the texture and properties of milk fat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use Not From Milk as a dairy-free alternative to provide richness, creaminess, and a smooth mouthfeel in a variety of foods. It is commonly found in processed meats like ham, sausage, and hot dogs, as well as in some baked goods and snacks.

Health notes

Not From Milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is not a significant source of nutrients, and its health effects are primarily related to its fat content, similar to other oils. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar ingredients, but specific evaluations for 'Not From Milk' as a distinct ingredient are not widely documented.

Allergen info

Not From Milk is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain milk, egg, fish, shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soy, or sesame. It is also gluten-free.
