What it is
Hydrolyzed whey protein is a protein source made from whey, a byproduct of cheese production. The whey is broken down into smaller protein pieces through a process called hydrolysis, making it easier to digest.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add hydrolyzed whey protein to foods as a protein source. It is commonly found in protein bars, ready-to-drink beverages, and some processed meats like sausages and hot dogs.
Health notes
Hydrolyzed whey protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of amino acids, which are building blocks for the body. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Hydrolyzed whey protein is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
