What it is

Powdered milk, also known as milk powder or dried milk, is a dairy product made by evaporating milk. It is produced by dehydrating pasteurized milk, which removes most of the water content. This process results in a shelf-stable powder that can be reconstituted with water to resemble liquid milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use powdered milk as a source of milk solids, adding it to baked goods like cakes, pastries, and muffins to improve texture and flavor. It also serves as a stabilizer and emulsifier in processed foods such as canned soups and custards, and can contribute to browning during baking.

Health notes

Powdered milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has evaluated powdered milk. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Powdered milk is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
