Casein - U.S.

Released on February 12, 2026

The price range for acid casein is unchanged this week. Demand for acid casein 
is steady in Oceania, and contacts in the region say interest from purchasers 
in other regions is strong. In Oceania, milk is available, allowing plant 
managers to run busy production schedules producing acid casein. Contract 
purchasers are securing the majority of acid casein being produced, but some 
recent production is available on the spot market.

Rennet casein prices are steady this week. Inventories are somewhat snug, but 
spot purchasers say they can secure loads to meet their immediate needs. 
Contacts in Europe report steady demand both within the region and from 
purchasers in other regions. Plant managers say they are running steady 
production schedules.
