What it is

Whey powder is a byproduct of cheesemaking. It is made by drying the liquid whey that separates from milk curds. The resulting powder is a source of protein and lactose.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add whey powder to foods for its nutritional content and as a binder or texturizer. It can also add a mild dairy flavor. It is commonly found in baked goods, snacks, and protein supplements.

Health notes

Whey protein is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of high-quality protein, which is important for muscle growth and repair. Regulatory bodies like EFSA have evaluated whey and its components. Evidence suggests whey protein may help with satiety and blood sugar control, but more research is needed on long-term effects.

Allergen info

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