Whey Sodium Caseinate

Whey sodium caseinate is a milk-derived ingredient. It is made by combining whey protein and sodium caseinate, both of which are components of milk. This process results in a soluble protein mixture.

Manufacturers add whey sodium caseinate to foods as an emulsifier and stabilizer. It helps to blend ingredients that don't normally mix, like oil and water, and improves texture. It is commonly found in dairy-based products, processed meats, and baked goods.

Whey sodium caseinate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein and is not associated with significant health concerns when consumed in typical amounts. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated milk proteins, and they are widely used in food products globally.
