Milk, skimmed, dried, fortified

Fortified dried skimmed milk is milk powder made by removing water from skimmed milk, with added vitamins. It mainly provides carbohydrate and protein, alongside calcium and other minerals. Per 100g of dry powder, it contains 53g of carbohydrate, 36g of protein, 0.6g of fat and 1280mg of calcium. These figures describe the powder rather than milk prepared with water.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while calcium contributes to normal bones and teeth. Milk sugars are mainly lactose, which may cause digestive symptoms in people with lactose intolerance. The nutrient content of prepared milk depends on how much water is added. Full nutritional figures for the dry powder are in the tables below.
