What it is

Powdered whole milk, also known as dried whole milk, is made by removing water from pasteurized whole milk. This process concentrates the milk's solids, including fat and protein, into a powder form. It is produced through methods like spray drying or roller drying.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use powdered whole milk as a source of milk solids, fat, and protein in a variety of processed foods. It can act as a flavor enhancer, contribute to texture, and provide richness. It is commonly found in baked goods, confectionery, dairy products like ice cream, and convenience meals.

Health notes

Powdered whole milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein, calcium, and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and milk products. Typical consumption as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Powdered whole milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
