Whole milk powder is usually obtained by removing water from pasteurized, homogenized whole milk. It may also be obtained by blending fluid, condensed or skim milk powder with liquid or dry cream or with fluid, condensed or dry milk, provided the composition of the whole milk powder conforms to U.S. Federal Standards. Whole milk powder must contain between 26% and 40% milkfat (by weight) on an ``as is'' basis and not more than 5.0% moisture (by weight) on a milk-solids-not-fat (MSNF) basis. By removing moisture to the greatest extent possible, microbial growth is prevented. Net weight: 25.0 kg Gross weight: 55.6 - 56.2kg Also available in plastic-lined corrugated paperboard or aluminum tote bins. Storage Ship and store in a cool, dry environment at temperatures less than 27¦C (80¦F) and relative humidity less than 65%. Use within 6 - 9 months. Note that storage life is very dependent on storage conditions and this figure is only a guide. Milkfat is susceptible to oxidative reactions that are accelerated by increased temperature. Flavor quality in particular is impaired if temperatures are too high and storage is extended.
