It is produced by physical separation techniques such as precipitation, filtration or dialysis. The acidity of Reduced Minerals Whey may be adjusted by the addition of safe and suitable pH-adjusting ingredients.
RMW for human consumption complies with all provisions of the U.S. Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
