Lactose intolerance foods to avoid

If you have lactose intolerance, limiting or avoiding foods containing lactose is important. These include:

• Milk: whole, skim, low-fat, and condensed
• Cream: heavy cream, sour cream, and cream cheese
• Cheese: cheddar, mozzarella, and blue cheese
• Yogurt: plain and flavoured
• Ice cream
• Butter
• Margarine
• Lactose-free milk products: These products have added enzymes that help to break down the lactose.

It's also important to be aware of foods that may contain hidden sources of lactose, such as:

• Baked goods: bread, cakes, cookies, and pastries
• Processed foods: lunch meats, sausages, and soups
• Fried foods: French fries and fried chicken
• Candy: chocolate and caramels
• Medications: some pills and capsules may contain lactose as a filler

Just search for the name of the product/item on Ariso and get accurate recommendations on whether it will suit you or not.
