Whey powder is produced as a by-product from cheese making, and is usually spray dried. It can be used in milk chocolate to replace sugar, as it is less sweet, and is often used to reduce cost. Different types of whey powder are available and it is important to consider the level of minerals they contain, as they can pass on salty flavours above certain levels. Whey powder is classified as an edible substance and legally does not contribute to the total milk solids.
