U.S. Whey: Key Issues Whey powder production increased for first time in several years, driven by price vs. WPC/Lactose Overall WPC production is down although higher protein WPC still growing (and generating more permeate). Decrease in Lactose/Permeate (1 st time in 10 years) due to global oversupply/price more permeate going into liquid feed. Growth of permeate sales into the food sector Export markets continue to be extremely important accounting for 63% of whey products (down from 76% in 2014) and 75% of lactose (up from 67% in 2014) produced in 2015.

U.S. Whey: Key Issues Supporting the development of a Codex Standard for Dairy Permeate Addressing threats from non-dairy alternatives to permeate/lactose for feeding piglets GMOs becoming more and more of an issue State of Vermont requiring labeling effective July 1. Congress still considering legislation to address the issue. FDA also considering new regulations to address what can be labeled as natural ADPI developing new industry standards for several new milk and whey-based ingredients: Colostrum powders Micellar Casein Whey Protein Phospholipid Concentrate Native Whey Protein

Summary: U.S. Dairy Sector Milk production continues to grow although at a slower pace Cheese/Whey production utilizing a growing share of the milk supply Global oversupply of dairy commodities is beginning to be reflected in U.S. prices (butter being the only exception) Poor returns for dairy farmers MPP not giving much relief - California petitioning for a Federal Milk Market Order Export volumes down due to stronger domestic demand & dollar
