     Whey Protein Concentrate - Central and Western U.S.

     Report 29 - Released on July 22, 2021

     The whey protein concentrate 34% price range and bottom of the mostly price series are
     unchanged this week. The top of the mostly price series moved slightly higher as a few
     manufacturers report limited production and the ability to maintain healthy premiums for
     their brand of WPC 34%. Brands of WPC 34% that meet stringent end user requirements have
     tighter supplies, stronger demand and command higher prices than WPC 34% that is
     interchangeable with other dairy proteins. Production of WPC 34% is still limited as some
     manufacturers choose to make WPC 80 or WPI instead of WPC 34%.

     and Edible Whey Protein Concentrate
