What it is

A milk protein blend combines different types of proteins derived from milk, such as whey and casein. These proteins are separated from milk through various processing methods like filtration and drying. The blend is designed to offer a specific nutritional profile or functional properties.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use milk protein blends to increase the protein content of foods, improve texture, and act as emulsifiers. They are commonly found in protein bars, nutritional shakes, baked goods, and some dairy products.

Health notes

Milk protein blends are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. They are a source of essential amino acids and can contribute to muscle health and satiety. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated milk proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.

Allergen info

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