What it is

Whey solids are a byproduct of cheese production, consisting of the liquid remaining after milk has been curdled and strained. Cellulose is a plant-based fiber, commonly derived from wood pulp or cotton. Both are processed into powders for use in food.

Why it's used

Whey solids are often used to add a milky flavor, improve browning, and enhance texture in baked goods and processed foods. Cellulose is used as an anti-caking agent to prevent powders from clumping, and as a thickener or stabilizer in various food products.

Health notes

Whey solids are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. Cellulose is also GRAS, often used as an anti-caking agent. Both are considered dietary fiber. JECFA has evaluated whey and cellulose. Typical intake levels are not associated with adverse health effects.
