Whey Protein Crisps Whey Protein Concentrate

Whey protein crisps are made from whey protein concentrate, a byproduct of cheesemaking. The liquid whey is processed to remove most of the fat and lactose, then dried and often formed into small, crunchy pieces.

Manufacturers add whey protein crisps to foods to boost protein content and provide a satisfying crunch. They are commonly found in snack bars, cookies, and baked goods where a crispy texture and added protein are desired.

Whey protein concentrate 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 building and repair. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated whey protein, and EFSA has also reviewed its safety. At typical intake levels found in food products, it is considered safe.
