Cow’s milk consists of solids (milk fat, protein, lactose and minerals) in water, which makes up about 87% of the volume.1 ‘Milk solids’ refers to the dried powder left after all the water is removed from liquid milk, such as milk powder found in supermarkets. If you follow a dairy-free diet, milk solids would need to be excluded.
