Organic Skim Milk Powder

Organic skim milk powder is made by removing water from organic skim milk. Skim milk comes from cows that are raised according to organic farming standards, meaning they are not given antibiotics or growth hormones, and are fed organic feed. The resulting powder is a concentrated source of milk solids, primarily protein and lactose.

Manufacturers use organic skim milk powder as a source of protein and dairy flavor, and as a binder or texturizer. It can also contribute to browning in baked goods. It is commonly found in dairy-based products, baked goods, processed meats, and some sauces and dressings.

Organic skim 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 WHO/IARC has not classified skim milk powder. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated milk and milk products, and JECFA has evaluated milk proteins, but specific evaluations for organic skim milk powder are not widely publicized. Typical consumption as part of a varied diet is not associated with adverse health effects.
