Lactose intolerance & Lactofree®

Lactose is the sugar found in milk, and it causes digestive problems. These problems occur when the body is unable to produce enough of the lactase enzyme in the digestive tract. Without this enzyme the lactose cannot properly be digested.

An allergy to cows milk is often confused with lactose intolerance and it is important to distinguish between the two. Cows milk allergy, which is likely to occur from birth, is a reaction to one or more proteins found in milk triggered by the immune system that in some cases can cause a serious reactions known as anaphylaxis.

Lactose intolerance does not involve the immune system, so while it can cause a great deal of discomfort, it will not cause a dangerous reaction.

Lactofree® starts as regular whole cows milk. We gently filter out half of lactose and then add the lactase enzyme that breaks down the remaining lactose into simpler forms that your body can absorb. As nothing else is added or removed, what you get is the nutritional benefits and great taste of regular whole milk - without the lactose*. If you have lactose intolerance you can still enjoy our lactose intolerance friendly products!
