What is malted milk made from?
The FDA’s Compliance Policy Guide for malted milk describes it as the product made by combining whole milk with the liquid separated from a mash of ground barley malt and wheat flour. So the main ingredients are milk, malted barley and wheat flour.
Is there an official standard?
No. The FDA page states that no standard of identity has been established for malted milk. In its place, the 1930s-era definition it quotes serves as a compliance guide for the identity of the product.
What does the finished product contain?
Under that definition, the resulting product contains not less than 7.5 percent butterfat and not more than 3.5 percent moisture. The low moisture limit is why malted milk is sold as a dry powder.
How do manufacturers make it step by step?
We found no official page that describes factory steps, temperatures or drying methods, so we do not describe them. Brands also differ in what they add, for example sugar, cocoa or vitamins, so check the ingredient list on your product.
Does malted milk contain allergens?
By this definition it contains milk and wheat, and barley malt contains gluten. Check the label if you have an allergy or celiac disease and ask a doctor or pharmacist.
