What it is
Deproteinized whey is a byproduct of cheese and whey protein concentrate production. It is made by removing most of the protein and fat from liquid whey, a milk-derived liquid. The remaining liquid is then processed to remove minerals and lactose, leaving a concentrated source of whey components.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use deproteinized whey as a flavoring agent and a source of milk solids. It can add a creamy, slightly sweet taste to foods. It is commonly found in baked goods like crackers, cakes, and cookies, as well as in snack foods.
Health notes
Deproteinized whey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey components, but specific evaluations for deproteinized whey may vary. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects. Evidence does not suggest significant health concerns for most consumers.
Allergen info
Deproteinized whey is derived from milk, which is one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
