What it is

Sweet whey powder is a dried form of liquid whey, a byproduct of cheesemaking. Liquid whey is pasteurized and then spray-dried to create a fine powder. It contains lactose, minerals, and some proteins.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sweet whey powder for its mild sweetness and browning properties, acting as a flavor enhancer and texturizer. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and biscuits, as well as in confectionery, chocolate, and some dairy-based products.

Health notes

In the U.S., sweet whey powder is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of nutrients like calcium and protein. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated whey and its components, and EFSA has also assessed whey proteins. At typical consumption levels found in food, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

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