What it is

Grade A Whey Powder is a dried powder made from whey, a liquid byproduct of cheese production. It is produced by separating the solid components (whey protein) from the liquid whey, then drying the concentrated liquid.

Why it's used

Whey powder is often used as a protein supplement and a nutritional enhancer. It can also act as a binder, emulsifier, and flavor enhancer in a variety of foods such as baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats.

Health notes

In the US, whey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of protein and some vitamins and minerals. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey protein, and it is considered safe for consumption. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming whey powder in typical amounts found in food.

Allergen info

Whey is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
