What it is

Dried sweet whey solids are a byproduct of cheesemaking, specifically from cow's milk. After the milk is curdled to make cheese, the liquid remaining is called whey. This liquid is then filtered, concentrated, and dried to create a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add dried sweet whey solids for their mild, sweet flavor and browning properties. They can also act as a binder and contribute to the texture of baked goods. It is commonly found in pastries, baked goods, frozen appetizers, and some dairy-based products.

Health notes

Dried sweet whey solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of protein and lactose. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated whey proteins, but no specific numeric limits are typically cited for this ingredient in its common food uses.

Dried sweet whey solids are derived from milk and are therefore a major allergen. They do not contain gluten.
