WPC80 Instant whey protein concentrate: bulk supply from EU dairies.
The workhorse of protein shakes. WPC80 Instant is whey protein concentrate, agglomerated and instantised with sunflower lecithin so it stirs into water or milk without clumping. We supply it from FSSC 22000-certified EU dairies, halal and kosher, from 300 kg. The full specification comes with your quotation.
WPC80 Instant is whey protein concentrate made from sweet cheese whey by membrane filtration and spray drying, then agglomerated and coated with a little sunflower lecithin (no soy) so it mixes fast. It is the standard base for flavoured protein shakes. Nordic Life Systems supplies it from FSSC 22000-certified EU dairies, halal and kosher, in 15 or 20 kg bags from 300 kg; the specification and a Certificate of Analysis for every batch come with your quotation.

Why instant
Agglomeration builds larger, porous granules, and a thin coat of sunflower lecithin lets water wet them at once. The powder sinks and disperses instead of floating as lumps, which is what a shaker-bottle customer notices first. For bars, bakery and extruded snacks, where the protein is hydrated during processing, the non-instant WPC80 Regular is the cheaper choice.
WPC80 or WPI90?
WPC80 is creamier and costs less per kilogram of protein. WPI90 Instant is filtered further, with more protein and less fat and lactose, for lean and low-lactose shakes. Many brands blend the two.
Origins and options
We source WPC80 Instant from several EU dairies, including production in the Netherlands from Dutch and German whey, and in Italy from Alpine milk made with microbial rennet only, which suits vegetarian ranges. The origin of each batch is on its specification and Certificate of Analysis.
Heat and acidity
Whey proteins start to denature above about 70 °C, and standard whey turns cloudy in acidic drinks. For clear drinks below pH 4, use Clear WPI90.
