Deminalized Whey Powder for Ice Cream from Japan
Whey powder processed to remove most minerals (ash content <4%) through ion exchange, enhancing solubility for ice cream and confectionery applications. HTS 0404.10.15.00 applies as modified whey since minerals—a natural whey constituent—have been removed per subheading definition, remaining a dairy product not excluded elsewhere.
