Lactose-Free Milk Drink

Barcode 4088600375137

No — Lactose-Free Milk Drink is not ultra-processed.

This is a simple dairy drink made from milk, water, and lactase enzyme. Lactase is an enzyme used to break down lactose for lactose-intolerant consumers and is not an industrial additive like emulsifiers, artificial sweeteners, or flavor enhancers. There are no industrially processed sugars, flavorings, or texturizing agents present, so it does not meet NOVA criteria for an ultra-processed food.

Common questions about Lactose-Free Milk Drink

Is Lactose-Free Milk Drink ultra-processed?

No — Lactose-Free Milk Drink is not ultra-processed, so it is not a UPF (ultra-processed food). This is a simple dairy drink made from milk, water, and lactase enzyme.

What does "ultra-processed" (UPF) mean?

Ultra-processed foods (UPFs) are industrial formulations made with ingredients and additives you wouldn't find in a home kitchen — such as emulsifiers, artificial flavourings, colourings and modified starches. The classification is based on the NOVA system used by researchers and dietitians worldwide.
