What is lactose free milk?

Organic Valley | Lactose Free Milk
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.

How is lactose free milk created?

Organic Valley | Lactose Free Milk
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.

Is the milk 100% lactose free?

Organic Valley | Lactose Free Milk
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.

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.

Related Questions

Frequently Asked Questions
Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest significant amounts of lactose, the predominant sugar of milk. This inability results from a shortage of the enzyme lactase, which is normally produced by the cells that line the small intestine. Lactase breaks down milk sugar into simpler forms that can then be absorbed into the bloodstream. When there is not enough lactase to digest the amount of lactose consumed, the results, although not usually dangerous, may be very distressing.

People who are lactose intolerant have not yet developed the enzymes to digest lactose. Our products contain about 64 milligrams of lactose (the sugar from cow's milk-no protein is used) per tablet. While everyone is different, most lactose intolerant individuals would need to ingest 5000 mg of lactose before they experience symptoms of intolerance. With this large margin of safety, there is rarely a problem with our products when being used as directed on the label.
