Dry Whole Milk

(DWM)

Product Definition

Dry Whole Milk (DWM) usually is obtained by the removal of water from pasteurized milk, which also may have been homogenized. Alternatively, Dry Whole Milk may be obtained by blending fluid, condensed, or nonfat dry milk with liquid or dry cream, or with fluid, condensed, or dry milk; provided that the resulting Dry Whole Milk is equivalent in composition. Dry Whole Milk contains not less than 26% but not more than 40% milkfat (by weight) on an “as is” basis and not more than 5% moisture (by weight) on a milk solids-non-fat (SNF) basis. The primary Dry Whole Milk products are those having 26.0% and 28.5% milkfat. Optionally, Dry Whole Milk may be fortified with either vitamins A or D, or both.

Dry Whole Milk complies with all provisions of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.

Permissable Additives

Dry Whole Milk may be fortified with vitamin A and/or vitamin D, provided that each quart of the resulting fluid milk, reconsitutted in accordance with the label directions, conforms to the following fortified content requirements, as appropriate:

Product Labeling

Recommended identifications:

Dry Whole Milk ___% Milkfat (where the actual milkfat content is declared)

Dry Whole Milk ___% Milkfat, fortified with vitamin(s)_____ (where the vitamins are stated)

Ingredient Note: Dry Whole Milk may comply with all aspects of the definition for Whole Milk Powder, but WMP (which is permitted to be standardized) does not comply with DWM requirements by definition. This ‘one-way’ equivalence has implications for product formulation and labeled ingredient declarations.

Functionality and Applications

HIgh Performance:

Hydration Rate
Heat Stability

Medium Performance:

Emulsification
Water Binding
Browning

Whole Milk Powder is typically used in confectionery, bakery products, packaged dry mixes, dairy products, soups, sauces, frozen foods, beverages, and others.

The protein adjustment which is permitted for Whole Milk Powder is optional. Product manufactured without this adjustment, and in compliance with all other U.S. requirements, is equivalent in composition to Dry Whole Milk, and it may be utilized in U.S. standardized foods where Dry Whole Milk is specified by the corresponding Standard of Identity (SOI).

Ingredient Note: Dry Whole Milk and WMP are analogous ingredients, with the former representing the U.S. definition and the latter representing the international (Codex Alimentarius) definition, respectively. The U.S. definition permits the blending of specific milk processing streams in order to achieve a final product which is equivalent to that obtained solely by drying whole milk; while the Codex standard allows for changing the fat and/or protein content of the product by adding specific permissible additives, ensuring that the casein-to-whey proteins ratio is not altered.

Bowl & Basket Milk Chocolate Bar: This milk chocolate gets its characteristic milky flavor from dry whole milk. The milkfat in dry whole milk also provides richness and creaminess when combined with cocoa butter.

Boom Chicka Pop: The hot cocoa flavored coating on this popcorn snack contains whole milk powder. Whole milk powder combined with nonfat dry milk gives it a rich flavor and a clean label.

RealGood Foods Egg Sandwich: Dry whole milk plays a more minor role in the formulation of this breakfast sandwich. In this case it is part of the whole egg mixture, extending the egg protein and providing a more aerated egg texture.

Farin Up Belgian Waffles Mix: The whole milk powder in this Belgian style waffle mix provides a clean label while also contributing important functionality. It contributes to a tender structure, surface browning, and sweet browned flavors of the waffle.
