What it is

Reconstituted whole milk is made by adding water to milk powder. This process restores the milk's original water content, creating a liquid similar to fresh whole milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it as a direct substitute for fresh whole milk in recipes and products. It is commonly found in canned soups, baked goods, and dessert toppings where a dairy component is needed.

Health notes

Reconstituted whole milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It provides similar nutritional benefits to fresh whole milk, including calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk and milk products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming reconstituted whole milk at typical dietary levels.

Allergen info

Reconstituted whole milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not gluten-containing.
