Ultrafiltered Skim Milk Blend

An ultrafiltered skim milk blend is made by removing water and lactose from skim milk using a process called ultrafiltration. This process concentrates the milk proteins, such as casein and whey. The resulting liquid is richer in protein and lower in lactose than regular skim milk.

Manufacturers use this blend to increase the protein content and improve the texture of dairy products. It acts as a protein source and can contribute to a creamier mouthfeel. It is commonly found in milk-based beverages, yogurts, and ice cream.

Ultrafiltered skim milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and calcium, nutrients important for bone health. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk proteins. At typical consumption levels, it is considered safe and nutritious.
