Skimmed Milk Powders - Wholesale Fat-Free Milk Powder
Skimmed milk powder is whole milk with the fat removed, then spray-dried into a fat-free powder - no more than 1.5% fat, around 34% protein. That makes skimmed milk powders the obvious choice when you want the protein and milk solids of dairy without the fat: more body, better texture and a clean dairy taste, with nothing adding to the fat content. FDCM supplies skimmed milk powder across Europe to food manufacturers, ready to order online or by quote.What skimmed milk powder is used for
Skimmed milk powder is one of the most useful dairy ingredients in a production kitchen. It binds water, builds structure and texture, and helps hold an emulsion together - all while raising the protein and milk-solids content without touching the fat. That last point is exactly why it works so well in reduced-fat recipes. In baking, skimmed milk powder earns its place through its proteins: they strengthen the crumb, deepen the crust colour as it browns, and help the dough hold moisture, while lifting the protein content of the finished product. This is what people mean by “skimmed milk powder for baking”. In ice cream and milk desserts, it adds the milk solids and protein that give body and a clean set, without bringing any fat into the mix. And because it dissolves easily, it slots into instant mixes, coffee creamers and food concentrates, where even reconstitution matters.Buttermilk powder
Alongside skimmed milk powder, this subcategory includes buttermilk powder - a natural emulsifier and flavour carrier that comes from butter production. It improves the consistency and colour of baked goods, fillings and creams, and carries a mild dairy note into chocolate and confectionery. Buttermilk powder is available on request.Lactose-free option
For lactose-sensitive formulations, there’s also a skimmed milk powder lactose free - the same fat-free milk powder with the lactose reduced, so it keeps the protein and milk solids of standard skimmed while suiting lactose-conscious recipes.Why order from FDCM

The product is GMO-free, and the allergen is clearly stated as milk and milk products (including lactose).

What is skimmed milk powder?
Skimmed milk powder is made by separating the cream from pasteurised cow’s milk, then spray-drying what’s left into a free-flowing powder. Removing the fat first is what makes it “skimmed”, or fat-free - and that low fat content is also what gives it good storage stability and a long shelf life. It dissolves easily in water, reconstituting into a low-fat milk base for further processing.What is the difference between skimmed and full cream milk powder?
Skimmed milk powder has the fat removed, so it leads with protein and lactose; full cream milk powder keeps the fat for richness and a fuller dairy taste. Choose skimmed when you want milk solids and protein without the fat, and full cream when you want body and creaminess.Can skimmed milk powder be used in baking and ice cream?
Yes - both are among its most common uses. A formulator reaches for it because it adds dairy protein and milk solids while leaving the fat under separate control, so you can build crumb, body and nutritional value without committing to a set fat level. In baking, that supports structure and colour; in ice cream and milk desserts, it adds body and a cleaner set.How should skimmed milk powder be stored?
Keep it in a clean, dry place below 23°C, away from light, moisture and strong smells, in its original sealed packaging.Part of our milk powders range
