The food industry is grappling with shortages and skyrocketing prices of whey protein, forcing some manufacturers to halt production or reformulate their products with alternative ingredients. Whey protein has become a star ingredient due to its complete protein profile and ease of use, but the supply chain is struggling to keep up with demand, with some suppliers already sold out for the remainder of the year. Companies are considering alternatives to whey protein, including milk protein concentrate and plant-based options like soy and pea, as price increases and tight supply continue to affect the industry.

For more on the show, Emily Graffeo and Tim Stenovec, spoke with Kristina Peterson is Bloomberg News Reporter covering the food industry.
