Modified Whey Protein Isolate Powder from Mexico

This is whey protein isolate where lactose and minerals have been partially removed through filtration processes, resulting in a high-protein powder with at least 90% protein content. It falls under HTS 0404.10.15.00 as modified whey per subheading note, since whey constituents have been removed to create a concentrated protein product, not qualifying as >95% lactose or >80% whey proteins for other headings.
