What it is

Powdered whey is a byproduct of cheesemaking. It is made by removing fat and water from liquid whey, which is the watery part of milk left after the milk has been curdled and strained. The remaining liquid is then dried into a powder.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add powdered whey for its nutritional content and to improve texture and flavor. It can act as a binder, emulsifier, and flavor enhancer in baked goods, processed meats, and dairy products.

Health notes

Powdered whey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and other nutrients. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey proteins. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info
