Is powdered milk harmful?

Answer

No. Powdered milk is a dairy product obtained by removing about 90% of the water in milk through controlled heat treatment and low pressure; nutrients such as protein, calcium and lactose are largely preserved. The purpose is to prevent milk from spoiling, to extend shelf life and to make transport easier. Powdered milk produced in line with the legislation in Ministry-approved establishments is not harmful in terms of food safety. One point to watch: products sold as "coffee whitener" are not the same thing as powdered milk — they may contain no powdered milk at all and may consist of different ingredients.
