What it is

Demineralized whey powder is made from liquid whey, a byproduct of cheesemaking. The minerals are removed through processes like ion exchange, leaving behind lactose, protein, and other components. This results in a powder that is less salty and has a milder flavor than regular whey powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it as a dairy-derived ingredient to add body, texture, and a mild milky flavor to foods. It can also act as a sweetener and browning agent. It is commonly found in confectionery, baked goods, and dairy-based products.

Health notes

Demineralized whey powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of lactose and milk proteins. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated whey products. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Demineralized whey powder is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
