What it is
Whey is the liquid byproduct of cheesemaking. It is separated from the solid curd when milk is coagulated. Whey can be further processed into whey powder, whey protein concentrate, or whey protein isolate.
Why it's used
Whey is used in foods for its nutritional content, flavor, and functional properties. It can act as a binder, emulsifier, or texturizer. It is commonly found in baked goods, dairy products, processed meats, and nutritional supplements.
Health notes
Whey is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of high-quality protein and may play a role in muscle growth and satiety. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey and its components. Evidence on the health effects of whey protein supplementation is mixed, with some studies suggesting benefits for weight management and athletic performance, while others show no significant effect.
Allergen info
Whey is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
