sweet something i can chime in on....yayyyyy.. There is a difference in powdered milks. The first is non fat-low heat.."aka" Instant Non Fat Milk. Simple plug and play mix with water version that closely resembles regular non fat milk. We use it everyday in my house. The next is low heat chocolate drink mix.. same version as non fat low heat except is has some cocoa and sugar added. The nasty ones that people are refering to are what is known as milk substitutes. They require boiling before use...so ive never really seen their point except as pointed out for baking ect. 99% of the food storage companies get their bulk product from the same company so realisticly their is no difference in the product between Shelf relience, honeyville, food forever, auguson farms or any of the others except for that dirty "P" word-"price". NOW lets talk shelf life. By all means 20+ years is feasable with the technology available today.......TODAY being the key word :0). Also you must consider the facility and the quality checks in place. BYU has some awesome shelf life study reports and continues to do them to this day i believe.
