What it is
This ingredient is milk from which the fat has been removed and then pasteurized. Pasteurization is a process that heats milk to kill harmful bacteria. It is often used to create products like skim milk or as a base for other dairy products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use pasteurized nonfat milk and milkfat to reduce the fat content in dairy products while maintaining a creamy texture and rich flavor. It's commonly found in cheeses, spreads, yogurts, and ice cream.
Health notes
Pasteurized nonfat milk and milkfat are considered safe and are common food ingredients. The FDA recognizes milk and milkfat as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). Major international bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk components. While milk is a source of nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, it is also a common allergen for some individuals.
Allergen info
Milk is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. People with a milk allergy should avoid products containing this ingredient.
