There are no international regulations to determine "lactose free". Valio Ltd (the parent company of Finlandia Cheese) is using a "lactose free" claim, when lactose cannot be found in the product (f. ex. cheese). Valio is using the best possible method (ion chromatographic method) to analyze lactose. The resolution for the method is 0.01%, which means that we can find 100 ppm (parts per million) of lactose from cheese.

All imported cheeses: Swiss, Light Swiss, Oltermanni Baby Muenster, Havarti, Muenster, Gouda and Black Label Swiss. Swiss, Light Swiss and Muenster loaves are sold behind the glass in the service deli. Swiss, Light Swiss, Havarti, Muenster and Gouda are also sold presliced and prepackaged in the self-service deli. All five varieties of our presliced cheeses are also sold in stick form on the cheese table in the self-service deli. Oltermanni Baby Muenster is also available in a 1lb.

We don't have a Kosher certification, but the rennet we use in making our cheeses is microbial based, so there is no other animal based ingredients in the cheese besides the milk.

The cows are grazed on grass-based pastures in the summer and fed grass silage based diets in the winter. The presence of natural B-carotene in the grass and grass silage gives the cheese its yellowish color.

Ultra pasteurized milks, should be stored cold (below 40 degrees). Proper storage of these milks is very important because the conversion of lactose sugar to glucose and galactose makes these milks more sensitive to variations in storage temperature.

The Medifast Protein bars, Ready-to Drink products, Take Shape Shakes and Fast Soups are all lactose free. Medifast 55 and Medifast 70 shakes are considered low-lactose products as each shake contains only one gram of lactose per serving. The FDA allows the claim "lactose free" for any product that contains less than 0.5 grams of lactose per serving.

Organic Valley's lactose free milk is delicious and nutritious organic milk with the natural enzyme lactase added. Lactase breaks down the milk-sugar lactose into the more easily digestible sugars galactose and glucose. The lactase we add is similar to the lactase created by the body during normal digestion of dairy products. After the lactose is broken down to galactose and glucose, the milk is sometimes perceived as having a slightly sweeter flavor profile.

Organic whole milk from our pasture-fed cows is skimmed to the desired fat level, and then the enzyme "lactase" is added to the milk and slowly mixed for 24 hours. We derive our lactase enzyme from the dairy yeast Kluyveromyces. It takes a minimum of 24 hours for the lactase enzyme to break down the lactose. Samples of the milk are tested to ensure the lactose is reduced to a "lactose free" state, and then the milk is ultra-pasteurized.

There are no specific federal regulations governing lactose free labeling. We believe the statement "lactose free" should meet a threshold lower than 0.5 grams per serving. Lactose tests cannot guarantee zero lactose. The test we utilize typically has a 0.1% detection limit, and does not allow us to detect lactose contents below that level.

Lactobacillus denotes ”lactic acid producing” or “acid loving.” The term “Lacto” does not indicate a relation to lactose or dairy, as is commonly misunderstood. Lactose may be used in the medium to grow the probiotic culture; however, this is completely removed from the final product. Our probiotic formula, Plantadophilus, is lactose-free, and prefers a pH of 6.5 to 6.8. [back to top]

All Cabot cheeses contain zero (0) grams of lactose. Eating any aged cheese should not affect those with lactose intolerance, regardless of how much is eaten, because lactose - the major carbohydrate of cheese - totally disappears within 3 to 4 weeks after the cheese is made.

Although the difference is minimal, lower moisture cheeses are better for the lactose intolerant populations. For example, Cheddar cheese would be slightly better than cottage cheese.

The overwhelming majority of our cheeses come from French farmers that produce their cheeses using traditional methods. At present our cheese master is working with more than 200 producers.

People who are sensitive to dairy products are usually sensitive to either lactose (the sugar naturally present in milk) or to the milk protein. Products that are called "Lactose Free" do not contain any milk sugar, but they may contain isolated, lactose-free milk protein as caseinate. quot;Dairy Free" products do not contain lactose or milk proteins.

Lactose-intolerance is a common challenge for many people. The lactose content can be different from one cheese to the other. Check with your physician whether Goat's milk or Sheep's milk cheeses could be an option for you.

Lactose is a sugar which occurs naturally in milk and is called "milk sugar." It's the least sweet of all the natural sugars and is used commercially in foods such as baby formulas and candies.

Our cooperative produces lactose free milk so the health benefits of organic milk are available to lactose intolerant individuals. An estimated 25% of Americans are unable to digest lactose. Lactose intolerance is particularly common in non-European ethnic populations. As people age, they produce less lactase. Lactose intolerance occurs in children as well, but not as frequently. Organic Valley produces the only organic lactose free milk on the market today.

Lactose intolerant individuals can enjoy the health benefits of drinking real organic milk from pasture-fed cows, and don't need to seek out dairy alternatives. Drinking organically produced milk offers optimal nutritional value, reduces exposure to synthetic chemicals, and supports healthier food production in our country. Up to 78% of Americans are believed to be calcium deficient-organic milk is an excellent source of easily absorbed calcium.

Organic Valley lactose free milk can be used in all the same ways other milk is used. Drink a glass of rich, creamy lactose free milk as a satisfying snack, with a meal, or have it with a bowl of cereal. Lactose free milk can also be used in lactose free sauces, salad dressings, and desserts.

These products do have lactose: 5-Cheese Fiesta chips, Guacamole Chips, Salsa con Queso. As far as our other products, the facilities that produce chips carry ingredients that have lactose in them. These are used on the same lines where lactose-free products are made.

Our system of importation, ensures that the vaccines are kept between 2 and 8 degrees from manufacturers to the CHILDREN'S IMMUNISATION CENTRE where they are transferred to our clinical fridge and stored according to manufacturers recommendations. Our staff have personally inspected the exporters/importers facilities.

We introduce the natural enzyme lactase into the milk. Lactase breaks down lactose into more easily digestible glucose and galactose.

It's hard to say that all soy products are lactose-free. Fundamentally, soy based products (made from soybeans) are lactose-free. However, if any dairy is added, there will be lactose. All Vitasoy soymilks, as well as, Nasoya tofu, dressings and sauces are lactose-free.

They can also be found occasionally in isolated areas of other States, such as Arizona, Kentucky, and Virginia.

Over the years many a Counsellor's child or grandchild has enjoyed Cambridge Diet as a delicious milkshake drink. There is nothing in it that will cause harm and it is certainly more nutritious than many children's drinks. A half a portion at a time is enough for a small child, with a total of one whole Diet per day. This will probably be as much as she can drink and it would be a shame to waste it; and the level of nutrients will not be so concentrated.
