Freezing powdered milk is generally not recommended. Although it’s non-perishable and has a long shelf life when stored in a cool, dry place, freezing can introduce moisture, leading to clumping and possibly impacting quality. Instead, keep powdered milk in an airtight container and store it in a cool, dry place to maintain its freshness.
