Lactose-Free 1% Lowfat Milk
What it is
This is a dairy beverage that has undergone a process to break down lactose, the natural sugar found in milk. It is also reduced in fat content, offering a lighter option compared to whole milk. The milk is pasteurized for safety and then treated to make it digestible for individuals with lactose intolerance. It retains the familiar taste and texture of milk while being more accessible to a wider range of consumers.

The 1% fat content makes it a lighter choice for both drinking and cooking, contributing to a less heavy final product.
