Dry Whey - Central U.S.

Released on November 28, 2025

The bottom of the Central region dry whey price range is slightly lower, but 
prices are unchanged at the top of the range. The mostly price series is 3 
cents higher on both ends. Contacts report prices are generally moving higher 
as several manufacturers are sold out of spot inventories, and some note 
purchasers are often willing to pay higher prices for dry whey from specific 
brands from resellers. Dry whey production remains limited as manufacturers are 
focusing production schedules on higher whey protein concentrates (WPC) and 
whey protein isolate (WPI). Stakeholders say prices for WPCs and WPI continue 
to push higher, amid strong demand and limited availability. Some spot 
purchasers say lower prices for spot dry whey on the CME and declining CME 
futures prices may have an impact on dry whey prices in the coming weeks.
