What it is

Cultured whey solids are a dairy ingredient made from whey, a liquid byproduct of cheese production. The whey is cultured with beneficial bacteria, then dried into a powder. This process can enhance flavor and improve texture.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use cultured whey solids as a flavor enhancer and to improve the texture and mouthfeel of foods. They are often found in savory products like pizzas, snacks, and processed meats.

Health notes

Cultured whey solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of protein and minerals. No specific health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar dairy components.

Allergen info

Cultured whey solids are derived from milk and are therefore a major allergen. They do not contain gluten.
