Casein - U.S.

Released on December 11, 2025

Both ends of the acid casein price range were unchanged this week. Demand for 
acid casein is steady both within Oceania and from purchasers in other regions. 
Contacts report most of the acid casein being produced is going towards 
contract purchasers. Milk production is strong in Oceania, enabling plant 
managers to run steady production schedules. Spot loads of acid casein are 
available but are not excessive.

Prices for rennet casein are steady. Contacts report contract demand for rennet 
casein is steady in Europe but say spot interest is declining in the region. 
Demand from purchasers in other regions is steady to lighter. Rennet casein 
production is steady, and spot loads remain available.
