What it is

Demineralized whey is a byproduct of cheese and casein production. It is made by removing minerals from whey, a liquid that separates from milk during cheesemaking. This process concentrates the whey's protein and lactose content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use demineralized whey as a sweetener, flavor enhancer, and texturizer in foods. It is often found in baked goods, confectionery, and dairy-based products.

Health notes

Demineralized whey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and lactose. JECFA has evaluated whey products and set acceptable daily intakes. No significant health concerns are associated with typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

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