Dry whole milk and whole milk powder refer to U.S. Food and Drug Administration and CODEX Alimentarius-defined terms respectively. Dry whole milk must contain between 26% and 40% milkfat (by weight) on an “as is’’ basis and not more than 5.0% moisture (by weight) on a milk-solids-notfat (MSNF) basis. Whole milk powder can contain between 26% and 42% milkfat and the protein level can be adjusted to a minimum of 34% in MSNF.

Typical Applications

For bakery, confectionery, dairy, prepared mixes, sauces, and soups as:

• An economical source of dairy solids, including milkfat
• A convenient form of nutritious milk that doesn't require refrigeration, and is easily reconstituted
• An easily transported and stored dairy ingredient

Stitched or glued, multiwall kraft bag with polyethylene inner liner. No staples or metal fasteners. Also available in plastic-lined corrugated paperboard or aluminum tote bins.

Storage

Ship and store in a cool, dry environment at temperatures less than 27ºC and relative humidity less than 65%. Use within 6 - 9 months. Note that storage life is very dependent on storage conditions and this figure is only a guide. Milkfat is susceptible to oxidative reactions that are accelerated by increased temperature. Flavor quality, in particular, is impaired if temperatures are too high and storage is extended.
