Label says:
"Wheat Flour and Malted Barley Extracts, Dry Milk, Lecithin, Salt, 
Sodium Bicarbonate"
so, no, it isn't milk with malt powder added. It appears to be malt 
powder with dried milk added...

Now, the original question was:

And i reiterate: Malted Milk powder IS what the man at the corner 
candystore used to put into the milkshake to make it into a malted. 
This is what Devra asked for. And in the US, Carnation brand is 
probably exactly what the guy was using.

I still think it shouldn't be all that hard to find. First one has to 
unravel the great mystery of which aisle it will be on. Even if one 
is standing in the right aisle, it may just be disappearing into the 
morass of brightly colored labels one the shelves. And the workers in 
the store may very well have no clue, if you ask them.

I still think it's probably near the Ovaltine :-)
