What it is

Modified whey protein concentrate is a dairy ingredient made from whey, a byproduct of cheese production. It is processed to alter its functional properties, such as solubility or heat stability, for specific food applications.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add it to foods to increase protein content and improve texture. It is often found in soups, sauces, and ready-to-eat meals where it can act as a thickener or emulsifier.

Health notes

In the U.S., modified whey protein concentrate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey proteins. At typical intake levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Whey is derived from milk, making modified whey protein concentrate a major allergen. It is not a source of gluten.
