What it is

Sweetcream buttermilk whey is a byproduct of making sweet cream buttermilk. It is the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained, typically during the cheese-making process. This liquid is rich in proteins and lactose.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add sweet cream buttermilk whey for its nutritional content and to improve texture and moisture in food products. It can act as a binder, emulsifier, and flavor enhancer. It is commonly found in baked goods, dairy products like ice cream, and processed meats.

Health notes

Sweet cream buttermilk whey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and other nutrients. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated whey proteins, and they are considered safe when consumed as part of a normal diet. Research suggests whey protein may have benefits for muscle growth and satiety, but evidence is mixed on other health claims.

Allergen info

Sweet cream buttermilk whey is derived from milk and is therefore a major allergen. It does not contain gluten.
