Dry Whey - East U.S.

Released on July 16, 2026

The dry whey price band moved higher, supported by reported trading activity 
and aligning with CME reported trades. Contacts reported increased whey buying 
ahead of the expected tender from Japan next week. Manufacturers continue 
prioritizing WPC 80% and WPI production due to active demand from 
sports-nutrition and protein-enhanced food formulations. Contacts are noting 
some resistance to WPC 80 and WPI pricing following recent rapid run-ups. 
Production of Extra Grade and Grade A dry whey remains secondary, keeping spot 
availability tight. Market tone is steady to firm.

Prices for: East, All First Sales, F.O.B., Edible Dry Whey
