What it is

Non-animal whey protein is a dairy protein made without using animals. It is produced through precision fermentation, where specific microorganisms are programmed to create the same proteins found in traditional whey.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it as a protein source in foods like ice cream, frozen desserts, and cheese alternatives. It provides the same texture and nutritional benefits as traditional whey protein.

Health notes

In the US, non-animal whey protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey proteins, and no specific concerns have been raised regarding their consumption at typical dietary levels. Evidence suggests it is a safe and nutritious protein source.

Allergen info

Whey protein is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. Therefore, non-animal whey protein is considered a milk allergen.
