WHEY PROTEIN CONCENTRATE 34% - CENTRAL AND WEST                         

Both ends of the range and the bottom of the mostly price series moved higher 
for whey protein concentrate 34% this week. Industry contacts continue to 
report WPC34% that meets infant formula requirements is in tight supply and 
often generates resales or offers above published prices. Other contacts say 
WPC34% that does not meet higher specifications and is interchangeable with 
other protein sources is somewhat more available and does not command the 
higher prices. A few end users suggest that because WPC34% is harder to get 
and some manufacturers have shifted production runs to higher protein 
concentrations, they are opting to adjust their recipes to be able to use 
those higher concentrations as needed.

F.O.B. EXTRA GRADE 34% PROTEIN:  .8500 - 1.1300  MOSTLY:  .9000 - 1.0300
