What it is
Lactose-reduced skim milk is regular skim milk that has had most of its lactose removed. Lactose is the natural sugar found in milk. An enzyme called lactase is added to the milk to break down the lactose into simpler sugars, glucose and galactose, which are easier to digest.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use lactose-reduced skim milk as a dairy ingredient in products where a lower lactose content is desired. It provides the taste and nutritional benefits of skim milk without the lactose that can cause digestive discomfort for some people. It is commonly found in ice cream, yogurt, and other dairy-based desserts.
Health notes
Lactose-reduced skim milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. The FDA considers lactose to be a major food allergen. Lactase enzyme, used to produce it, has been evaluated by JECFA and EFSA. Consuming lactose-reduced milk helps individuals with lactose intolerance to digest dairy products more easily.
Allergen info
Lactose-reduced skim milk is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
