What it is
Whey is the liquid part of milk that separates during cheese production. It is a byproduct of the dairy industry, primarily from the making of cheese. The liquid whey is then typically dried into a powder.
Why it's used
Whey powder is used as a protein source and to improve texture in foods. It can act as a binder and emulsifier, helping to combine ingredients like oil and water. It is often found in baked goods, dairy products, and protein supplements.
Health notes

Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated whey protein, and it is considered safe for consumption. There are no major controversies regarding its use at typical dietary levels.
