Good info. Can you provide us all with a link to info on the product or to a source?

Found this link:

http://www.wheylow.com/

The dairy component in it concerns me when it comes to its use in canning since all dairy products are heavily restricted in canning due to the insulating nature of the fats they contain. I don't find any info on research/testing for its use in canning. Have you?

Dave.

Oh dear heavens, you know that never crossed my mind because I was so concentrated on the sugar free aspect. Let me see if I can contact someone there since I am a regular customer and see if they have done any canning tests. Thank you for catching that before I gave any of this to anyone!

But does this product even contain any oils? It *seems* to just contain lactose from the dairy. It is similar to saying that corn syrup made from corn does not contain corn oil. (which is a correct statement). I am sure the company can tell you if there is only lactose from dairy or if there are more dairy components in the product.

edit: Should have said: "But does this product even contain any FATS?"

I sent an email to the company but haven't heard back. Hopefully tomorrow, since the auto reply said "within 24 hours".

OK, I finally heard back from someone at the Wheylow place. Here's what he said:

Hi Edie,

Thank you for contacting us about Whey Low®. We only use the milk sugar (lactose monohydrate) in our products which does not contribute to bacteria growth. There are no diary proteins or fats in any Whey Low product. Hope this puts your mind as ease about using Whey Low in canning jams and jellies. Feel free to contact me with additional questions.

So I feel much better now.

Edie

Cool! That is great info to have. Thanks for tracking down the info for the rest of us.
