Vanilla Drumstick Ingredients: Dairy Product Solids

Dairy product solids are the non-fat components of milk, such as proteins and lactose, that remain after water and fat have been removed. They are typically produced by drying milk or cream. This process concentrates the milk's natural solids.

Dairy product solids are used to add richness, body, and a creamy mouthfeel to foods. They also contribute to browning and flavor development during cooking. They are commonly found in ice cream, baked goods, and processed dairy products.

Dairy product solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are a source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated dairy products, but specific evaluations for 'dairy product solids' as an isolated ingredient are not typically detailed separately. No significant health controversies are associated with typical consumption.
