Interesting Facts

  • Codex Standard CXS 207-1999 separately recognizes whole milk powder, partly skimmed milk powder, and skimmed milk powder.
  • Because these forms contain different amounts of milkfat, one generic fat percentage is not appropriate for the overall Powdered Milk entry.
  • U.S. regulations define dry whole milk as a product obtained by removing water from pasteurized milk, with equivalent production by permitted blending also allowed.
