What it is
Whey is the liquid byproduct of cheesemaking. It is made up of proteins, lactose (milk sugar), and minerals. It is often dried and powdered for use in food products.
Why it's used
Whey powder is used as a flavor enhancer and a source of protein in many foods. It adds a savory, cheesy, or milky taste. It is commonly found in snacks, seasonings, baked goods, and processed meats.
Health notes
Whey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of high-quality protein and may help with muscle growth and repair. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated whey, but no specific numeric limits are set for its use as a food ingredient. Typical intake from food is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Whey is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It is not a source of gluten.
