Dry Milk
Dry Milk appears in 82 indexed US food products. No FDA SAFFA status or CSPI rating is attached in this snapshot, so this page reports prevalence rather than a safety verdict.
What the data can answer
Dry Milk appears in 82 catalogued products, but this snapshot has no FDA SAFFA status or CSPI Chemical Cuisine rating attached to it. This page therefore cannot answer whether the ingredient is safe from those sources. It can show how often it occurs, where it tends to sit on labels, and which kinds of products contain it.

- Of the way down the captured list, averaged across the 82 products listing it (mean slot 14.3). Dry Milk usually falls in the lower half of the list; this position does not measure its amount because source formatting, compound ingredients and labeling exceptions vary.

How to use this page
Use prevalence before concern
Only 17.1% of linked products carry any separately flagged ingredient. The stronger differentiator here is market placement: Dry Milk spans 39 named brands and is led by the Snacks group. Start with 1st Phorm; BA Bear Claw; Banana Bread when comparing real formulations. Because the flagged component may be something else, neither the low co-occurrence rate nor the 92.9/100 product average proves this ingredient safe.
39 named brands carry this ingredient
The processing evidence is heterogeneous rather than a single shelf pattern: the largest NOVA group contains 77 of 79 classified products, leaving a meaningful remainder elsewhere. This breadth is why the page reports label depth, category, and product examples separately. Those dimensions help locate comparable products; combining them into a stronger safety claim would hide the variation the catalog actually contains.
Next check: compare label position across two brands before treating prevalence as equivalent exposure.
What else is usually in the same product as Dry Milk
Across the 82 products on this site that list Dry Milk, these flagged additives appear alongside it most often.
