whey powder........

[nutty]

Assalamun alaikum

is whey powder deprived from cows milk haram, I know whey deprived form animal rennets is haram, is it the same thing or different, also on the packet it states that it is suitable for vegetarians.

[Medina83]

I dont see how it could be haram, since the cow had to be alive to give the milk....

why haram?? milk isn't meat??? is it :p
