About Lactose Free
Lactose-free dairy products have revolutionised the diet of people with lactose intolerance, allowing them to enjoy milk, cheese, and other dairy items without digestive discomfort. Unlike dairy alternatives made from plant sources, lactose-free products are real dairy with the lactose enzyme added to break down the natural milk sugar before consumption. The UK market for lactose-free products has grown significantly as awareness of lactose intolerance has increased. Studies suggest around 5% of the UK population is lactose intolerant, rising to higher percentages among certain ethnic groups. Lactose-free milk, semi-skimmed and whole varieties, offers identical nutritional benefits to regular milk—including calcium, protein, and vitamins—while being gentle on the digestive system. Major UK supermarkets now stock comprehensive lactose-free ranges including milk, hard and soft cheeses, yoghurts, butter, and cream. These products use the same high-quality British dairy with lactase enzyme treatment, ensuring authentic taste and texture. Lactose-free milk typically has a slightly sweeter taste due to the breakdown of lactose into simpler sugars. At Grocefully, you can compare lactose-free product prices across UK supermarkets including Tesco, Morrisons, and others. Whether you're managing lactose intolerance or simply prefer easier-to-digest dairy, these products offer full dairy nutrition without the discomfort.
