What it is

Ultrafiltered nonfat milk is skim milk that has been processed through a fine membrane filter. This process removes water and lactose, concentrating the milk proteins and other solids. The result is a liquid ingredient with a higher protein content and less water than regular skim milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use ultrafiltered nonfat milk to increase the protein content and improve the texture of dairy products. It helps create a creamier mouthfeel and can also act as a stabilizer. It is commonly found in cheeses, yogurts, ice cream, and other frozen desserts.

Health notes

Ultrafiltered nonfat milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a source of protein and calcium, which are important nutrients. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk proteins, and they are considered safe when consumed as part of a balanced diet. No significant health concerns are associated with its consumption at typical levels.

Allergen info

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