What it is
Organic milk powder is made by removing water from pasteurized organic milk. The milk comes from cows raised according to USDA National Organic Program standards, meaning they are not treated with antibiotics or synthetic hormones and are fed organic feed. The drying process can be done through spray drying or freeze drying.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add organic milk powder to provide a concentrated source of milk solids, including protein and lactose. It contributes to flavor, texture, and browning in baked goods and confectionery. It is commonly found in chocolate, baked goods, infant formula, and nutritional supplements.
Health notes
Organic milk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and milk products. While generally considered safe, some individuals may have lactose intolerance or milk allergies.
Allergen info
Milk is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. Organic milk powder is derived from milk and therefore contains this major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
