What it is

Whey is the liquid part of milk that remains after the production of cheese or casein. It is a byproduct of cheesemaking. For pasteurized organic milk whey, the milk is heated to kill harmful bacteria, and then the whey is separated.

Why it's used

Whey is often used as a protein source and to improve texture and flavor in foods. Manufacturers add it to products like baked goods, dairy products, and processed meats. It can also act as a binder or emulsifier.

Health notes

Whey protein is widely consumed as a dietary supplement. The FDA considers whey to be Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS). International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey and its components. Evidence suggests whey protein may support muscle growth and repair, but research is ongoing.

Allergen info

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