What it is

Skim milk solids, also known as nonfat dry milk, are made by removing water from pasteurized skim milk. The process typically involves evaporation and spray drying, resulting in a powder that contains concentrated milk proteins and lactose.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add skim milk solids to foods for several reasons, including improving texture, adding a creamy mouthfeel, and providing a source of protein and calcium. They are commonly found in dairy-based products like ice cream and yogurt, as well as baked goods, processed meats, and sauces.

Health notes

Skim milk solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. As a dairy product, they contain lactose, which can affect individuals with lactose intolerance. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk and milk products. At typical consumption levels, skim milk solids contribute nutrients like protein and calcium to the diet.

Allergen info

Skim milk solids are derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens identified by the FDA. Therefore, products containing skim milk solids must be labeled as containing milk.
