What it is

Deproteinized dairy whey is a byproduct of cheese and casein production. It is made by removing most of the protein from liquid whey, which is the watery part of milk left after it has been curdled and strained. The remaining liquid is then further processed to remove minerals and other components.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add deproteinized dairy whey as a source of lactose and minerals, and for its browning and flavor-enhancing properties. It is often used in baked goods like crackers, cookies, and biscuits, as well as in snack foods and confectionery.

Health notes

Deproteinized dairy whey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of lactose, a natural sugar found in milk. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey components, but specific evaluations for deproteinized dairy whey may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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