Jakarta –
Recently, there has been an assumption in the community about the prohibition of brewing sweetened condensed milk (SKM) with warm water. Straightening this assumption, nutritionists explain that there is no such prohibition.
However, there are several things that people should pay attention to, such as the risk of consuming excess sweetened condensed milk and recommendations for safe consumption.
Senior nutrition expert from Medistra Hospital, Dr. Cindiawati J Pudjiadi MARS, MS, SpGK explained that there is no prohibition against brewing SKM with warm water. According to him, most dairy products and their processed products can follow the serving suggestions, whether it is dissolved in warm water or used as a complement to a food/beverage mixture.
“Regarding whether or not it is allowed to brew, the taste is not a problem. Moreover, almost all dairy products have suggestions for serving diluted with warm water. People need to know how many nutritional needs are needed and not consume excessively”, he explained.
In line with Dr. Cindiawati, the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) did not mention the prohibition on brewing or mixing with any water for SKM products. In fact, in the release there are suggestions for serving SKM with coffee and tea which are generally enjoyed by brewing.
Sweetened condensed milk often consumed by the community as a complement to food or brewed with warm water. Although it is a dairy product, SKM is produced by removing most of the water from cow’s milk leaving a thick liquid, which is then sweetened and canned.
Compared to other dairy products, SKM is sweeter, darker in color, and has a thicker texture.
Meanwhile, quoted from the official page pom.go.id, BPOM explained: sweetened condensed milk (SKM) is a milk product that has the characteristics of a milk fat content of not less than 8% and a protein content of not less than 6.5%.
Therefore, quoted from Healthline, SKM consumption should not be excessive. Because, SKM contains more sugar than other milk. Excessive consumption of SKM can also cause various risks. More on the following page.
