What it is
Whey buttermilk is the liquid remaining after butter has been churned from cream. It is a byproduct of butter production and contains water, milk solids, and some fat. It has a tangy flavor and is often cultured to enhance its taste and shelf life.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add whey buttermilk for its tangy flavor and to improve texture in baked goods, dairy products, and snacks. It can act as a leavening agent when combined with baking soda, adding tenderness and moisture to products like pancakes, biscuits, and cakes.
Health notes
Whey buttermilk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of protein and calcium. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated buttermilk and its components. At typical consumption levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.
Allergen info
Whey buttermilk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
