What it is

Organic nonfat dry milk powder is made from skim milk from cows raised on organic farms. The milk is pasteurized, then the water is removed through evaporation and spray-drying to create a shelf-stable powder. It retains most of the protein and lactose from the original skim milk but very little fat.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it as a source of protein, calcium, and milk flavor in a variety of products. It can also act as a binder, emulsifier, and texturizer. It is commonly found in baked goods, dairy products like yogurt and ice cream, processed meats, and snack foods.

Health notes

Organic nonfat dry milk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of protein and calcium, which are important nutrients. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated milk products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Milk is one of the 9 major allergens identified by the FDA. Organic nonfat dry milk powder is derived from milk and therefore contains milk allergens.
