Arla Foods Ingredients has been granted approval by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority to acquire Volac's Whey Nutrition business, which includes a processing facility in Wales. This move aims to meet the rising demand for whey protein isolate (WPI), especially in health and sports nutrition markets. The facility will also produce whey fat concentrate and lactose, and Arla anticipates significant growth in WPI sales over the next five years.
