Casein is used as a food additive to improve texture and provide protein fortification. …

What it is

Casein is the main protein found in milk, making up about 80% of the protein in cow's milk. It is derived from milk and is responsible for milk's white color. Casein is separated from milk during the cheese-making process.

Why it's used

Casein is used as a food additive to improve texture and provide protein fortification. It acts as an emulsifier, helping to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water. It's commonly found in dairy products, baked goods, and processed meats.

Health notes

Casein is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of essential amino acids. JECFA has evaluated casein and established an acceptable daily intake. While some people have sensitivities or allergies to casein, it is not considered harmful for the general population at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Casein is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
