What it is
Cultured whey powder is made from whey, a liquid byproduct of cheese or casein production. The whey is fermented with beneficial bacteria, then dried into a powder. This process can alter the whey's flavor and functional properties.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add cultured whey powder for its tangy flavor and to help bind ingredients, acting as a stabilizer or emulsifier. It is often found in dairy-based products like dips and sauces, as well as baked goods such as cookies and bars.
Health notes
In the US, cultured whey powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and minerals. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated whey and its derivatives. Evidence does not indicate adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Cultured whey powder is derived from milk, making it a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
