What it is
Detour Whey Protein Blend is a mixture of different types of whey protein, a byproduct of cheese production. It is typically made by isolating and concentrating whey protein from milk. The blend may include whey concentrate, whey isolate, and hydrolyzed whey protein.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add whey protein blends to foods to increase the protein content. They are commonly found in snack bars, energy bars, and protein bars, helping to make these products more filling and appealing to consumers seeking higher protein intake.
Health notes
Whey protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of complete protein, containing all essential amino acids. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey proteins. While generally considered safe, some individuals may experience digestive discomfort. High protein intake should be considered within the context of overall dietary needs.
Allergen info
Whey protein is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
