What it is

Reduced protein whey is a byproduct of cheese and whey protein concentrate production. It is made by removing most of the protein from whey, leaving behind lactose and minerals. This process typically involves ultrafiltration or other separation techniques.

Why it's used

Reduced protein whey is often used as a sweetener and bulking agent in food products. Its mild flavor and texture-enhancing properties make it suitable for use in confectionery, baked goods, and dairy-based desserts. It can also contribute to browning in baked items.

Health notes

Reduced protein whey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of lactose and minerals. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey and its components. At typical intake levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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