What are the benefits of recombined milk?
Recombined milk is made by combining milkfat and milk-solids-non-fat, with or without water, to reach the composition of a milk product (FAO AGROVOC). We found no official source that lists health benefits specific to recombined milk, so we do not claim any.

In this article
What is recombined milk?
FAO’s AGROVOC thesaurus defines a recombined milk product as one resulting from the combining of milkfat and milk-solids-non-fat. Water may or may not be added, depending on what is needed to reach the right dairy product composition.
Is recombined milk the same as reconstituted milk?
The terms are often used together, but the AGROVOC page we opened defines only recombined milk. We did not find an official page that defines the difference, so we do not draw one here.
What are the benefits of recombined milk?
We found no official source (NIH, NHS, FDA, WHO or FAO) that states health benefits for recombined milk compared with other milk. Claims that it has more calcium, less fat or less cholesterol than fresh milk, which appeared on an earlier version of this page, are not supported by a source we could open, so we removed them.
Nutrition depends on the product: milkfat level, any added vitamins, and how it was made. Check the Nutrition Facts label on the pack for calories, fat and calcium.
Who is it for?
We found no official statement on this. If you have a medical reason to choose or avoid a type of milk, ask a doctor or dietitian.
