This law defines 'nonfat dry milk,' under the 1938 Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, as milk with the fat and water removed, keeping the same relative amounts of lactose, protein, and minerals as fresh milk, with limits on moisture and fat content. It also defines 'milk' to mean sweet cow's milk.

Under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938, "nonfat dry milk" is the product made by removing fat and water from milk. It keeps the lactose, milk proteins, and milk minerals in the same relative amounts as the fresh milk it came from. It cannot contain more than 5 percent moisture by weight. Its fat content cannot be more than 1.5 percent by weight, unless otherwise stated. As used here, "milk" means sweet milk from cows.
