Non Fat Dry Milk
Non-Fat
Dry Milk (NFDM), also known as Dried Skim Milk (DSM), is dry milk
powder, produced by extracting fat and water from pasteurized, fresh
cow's milk. NFDM has a high nutritional value and is a source of high
quality animal protein. NFDM may be used in therapeutic feeding or as
an ingredient in supplementary food. Distribution of NFDM must be in
accordance with policy guidelines http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/humanitarian_assistance/ffp/supplementary.html.
NFDM has limited storage stability (see guidance on shelf life). NFDM
can be monetized as indicated in the USAID policy http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/humanitarian_assistance/ffp/nonfat_drymilk_policy.html.
Lactose intolerance has been associated with consumption of NFDM;
however, this is rare in supervised program settings such as
therapeutic feeding centers. Policy information on the use of NFDM for
therapeutic feeding is available at http://www.usaid.gov/our_work/humanitarian_assistance/ffp/therapeutic.html.
For guidance on therapeutic feeding, refer to the WHO manual, The
Management of Severe Malnutrition (1999). For more information on
the lactose content of NFDM, refer to Part Two
of the CRG.

Nutritional Values (per 100 g)
These
are average values for fortified NFDM, taken from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service (USDA:ARS)
2001 USDA Nutrient Database, Release 14, Laboratory Home Page, (http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic).
These nutrient values are provided as a guide for use in the
calculation of food aid rations; users should be aware that shipments
of food aid may vary from these exact nutrient values.
