About Whey-based protein powder

Whey-based protein powder is a powdered food ingredient or supplement made with whey-derived protein. The label identifies whey as the protein source but does not establish the protein fraction, concentration, flavour, or other ingredients; formulations therefore vary.

The powder is commonly mixed into drinks or incorporated into foods. It is typically fine and dry, and its flavour, colour, and solubility depend on processing and added flavourings or other components. Nutrition comparisons should match the precise product formulation and preparation, rather than assuming all whey powders are alike.
