Lactose Intolerance is an individualized condition that affects millions of people across the world. In the United States, estimates of lactose intolerance range from around 9% to 36% of individuals.
Providing lactose-free milk, and low-lactose containing dairy products allows more school children to choose nutrient-rich dairy foods to meet their needs.
Lactose-free dairy milk contains the same 13 essential nutrients, including calcium, protein, and vitamin D, as regular dairy milk, just without the lactose. Some dairy foods like yogurt and aged cheese are low in lactose.
Our Lactose Intolerance Toolkit for schools contains information to educate your staff and promote availability of lactose free milk to your students.
