What it is
Pasteurized condensed skim milk is made from cow's milk from which most of the water and fat have been removed. The milk is then heated (pasteurized) to kill harmful bacteria and concentrated to remove more water.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add it to foods to add body, richness, and a creamy texture without adding fat. It also acts as a source of protein and calcium. It is commonly found in ice cream, frozen yogurt, and other dairy-based desserts.
Health notes
Pasteurized condensed skim milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and milk products. At typical consumption levels, it does not pose health risks for most people. Individuals with lactose intolerance or milk allergies should avoid it.
