Powder Skim Milk

Skim milk powder, also known as nonfat dry milk, is made by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. The process typically involves evaporation followed by spray drying. The resulting powder is a stable, shelf-stable form of skim milk.

Manufacturers use skim milk powder as a source of protein and dairy solids, and for its ability to improve texture and mouthfeel. It's often added to baked goods, dairy products like yogurt and ice cream, and to reconstitute milk for beverages and cooking.

Skim milk powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated skim milk powder. Typical intakes as part of a balanced diet are not associated with adverse health effects.
