Whey protein has come a long way from the days when it was known only as a protein powder supplement for the bodybuilder.

Today, this ingredient, which is naturally found in milk, has expanded from powders on the nutrition store shelves to ingredients in products down the grocery aisle. It can be found in numerous snack foods, health bars, performance/nutrition beverages, oatmeal and yogurts. The future looks even brighter for this neutral-flavored ingredient because it can be easily added to all kinds of products to naturally boost the protein and nutritional value, which are important considerations for manufacturers creating protein-fortified products for health-conscious consumers.

Your Questions Answered
- Safe if expired?
-
Would it be o.k. to use whey protein past the expiry date on the container?
