Skimmed milk powder is a type of milk product prepared by separating the cream from milk. This process reduces the fat content in the milk, and the result is called skim milk. To make skimmed milk powder, the skim milk is dried using a method called spray drying or roller-drying. This turns it into a fine powder, which is known as skimmed milk powder.

Skimmed milk powder has many uses in the food industry. It is added to various foods during baking, cooking, and as an ingredient in processed products.

To ensure the product quality and consumer safety, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has made it mandatory for manufacturers to undergo BIS registration and obtain the BIS ISI mark before selling their products in the market. Manufacturers can use the ISI Mark on their products only after obtaining a license from BIS that is granted after BIS registration. The presence of the ISI mark on a product indicates that it complies with BIS's stringent quality standards.
