Skimmed Milk Powder Infant Formula Grade (SMP)

Different from the standard SMP

Produced by separating cream from carefully selected fresh whole milk and spray drying under tightly controlled conditions, thereby ensuring the product conforms to the specific requirements of the Infant Formula sector.

Lactose, milk protein and milk mineral levels are maintained in the same relative proportions as the fresh milk from which the product was manufactured.Infant formula grade SMP differs from the standard product in a number of important physical, chemical and microbiological attributes; principally:

• Exceptionally low microbiological levels
• High heat stability, facilitating long processing runs during infant formula manufacture
• The mineral content is strictly monitored in order to ensure consistency and ease of use in formulation.

This involves careful monitoring and control of the cows’ feeding regime.
