Organic Grass Fed Whey Protein

Whey protein is a mixture of proteins found in the liquid left after milk has been curdled and strained, such as in cheese making. "Grass-fed" means the cows that produced the milk were raised on pasture. It is typically dried into a powder for use in foods.

Manufacturers add whey protein to foods to boost protein content. It is commonly found in protein bars, shakes, and baked goods, and can also act as an emulsifier or thickener.

Whey protein is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a complete protein, meaning it contains all nine essential amino acids. While generally considered healthy, excessive protein intake can put a strain on the kidneys. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey protein and its components.
