RE: nRE: Whey StatusProbablity: I am hoping for a great NR tomorrow too! You are correct in your last post. Just thought I would post further information in case you were or other people on the board are interested.
Whey is a byproduct of Cheese production, but many dairy processors will add it back it for a substitute. When I was working for a dairy processor in Nova Scotia, we used Whey protein quite often. It is safe, effective and cheaper.
You will see it listed as "Modified Milk Ingredients"
For educational purposes, I thought I would include the following information on it:
“Modified milk ingredients” is an umbrella term for a variety of milk ingredients such as
casein or whey. Milk is the building block for dairy products, such as yogurt, ice cream,
butter and cheese. Since milk may undergo changes during the processing of these
foods, with some of its components concentrated or removed, it cannot be called milk
on the label, therefore the term “modified milk ingredients” is used.
Under current law, only a limited amount of fluid milk and cream can be imported tarifffree
into Canada. "Modified milk ingredients" are a different story. That name can mean
just about any product that was initially part of milk, especially including the following:
• skim milk powder
• milk protein concentrates
• milk protein isolates
• casein
• caseinates
• whey protein concentrates
It's possible to make products such as cheese and ice cream using only modified milk
ingredients and no fluid milk or cream at all.

Additional Information:
Canadian Food Inspection Agency Regulations
