What it is
Organic condensed milk is cow's milk from organic sources that has had most of its water removed through heating and evaporation. Sugar is added during this process, resulting in a thick, sweet, and creamy product. The 'organic' label means the milk comes from cows raised according to organic farming standards, without synthetic hormones or antibiotics, and fed organic feed.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic condensed milk to products primarily as a sweetener, thickener, and flavor enhancer. Its rich texture and sweet taste make it a popular ingredient in desserts, such as pies, custards, and ice creams. It is also used in some beverages and confectioneries.
Health notes
Organic condensed milk is a food ingredient, not a food additive, and is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. It is high in calories and added sugars. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no amount of added sugars, and at most 10 grams of added sugars per meal. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate composite food ingredients like condensed milk as food additives.
Allergen info
Milk is one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. Organic condensed milk is derived from cow's milk and contains milk proteins and lactose.
