What it is

Micellar casein is the primary protein found in milk. It is separated from milk through a process that involves removing whey proteins, leaving behind the casein micelles. This results in a concentrated source of casein protein.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use micellar casein as a protein source in foods like protein powders, nutritional shakes, and bars. It can also function as a binder or emulsifier in some food products, helping to combine ingredients that don't normally mix, such as oil and water.

Health notes

In the U.S., micellar casein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for its intended purpose. It is a source of essential amino acids. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated casein proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts of micellar casein.

Allergen info

Micellar casein is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
