5. LACTOSE-FREE PRODUCT CATEGORIES THE EUROPEAN LACTOSE-FREE MARKET 2017/2018 Plant-based milk alternatives To view, please download FULL Report Lactose-free milk products A2 milk products Lactosefree products There are 3 main categories within the lactose-free food sector, which will be discussed in greater depth in this chapter. Lactose-free milk based products are made from cows’ milk which has been processed using filtration and enzyme technology. Products in this category include white milk, flavoured milk, cheeses, butter and yoghurts. These products still contain trace amounts of lactose. Plant-based milk alternatives are made out of a wide range of plants including soya, rice, oats and nuts, which often mimic traditional dairy products. Offerings include white and flavoured milks, creams, yoghurts, desserts, cheeses and ice-creams. These items naturally contain no lactose. a2 milk is a relatively new concept. It is thought that the symptoms of lactose intolerance are caused by a reaction to the A1 casein protein in cows’ milk. This white milk product contains only A2 proteins, which are claimed to improve digestibility. All rights reserved, ©Teepee Ltd, t/a HRA Food & Drink: 2017 17
THE EUROPEAN LACTOSE-FREE MARKET 2017/2018 5.1 LACTOSE-FREE COWS’ MILK • Lactose-free cows’ milk is produced by filtering white milk through a membrane, before using enzymatic hydrolysis to eliminate most traces of lactose. • Consumers still reap the nutritional benefits of traditional cows’ milk including calcium, vitamins B2 and B12. Some lactose-free milks are lower in sugar and higher in protein than normal milk, as processing filters out the lactose carbohydrates. • In a bid to decrease sugar content, Swiss milk processor Emmi inadvertently made all of their Good Day range lactose-free. As consumers become more and more aware of the need to cut down on sugar, lactose-free dairy products may find themselves a natural by-product of this trend. 5.1.1 LACTOSE-FREE COWS’ MILK: ARLA LACTOFREE Launched: 2006 Lactose levels: Below 0.03% Technology: Filtration and enzyme Products: Milk, spreads, yoghurt, cream and cheese Countries: UK and continental EU Sales: 23% growth in 2015 16 To view, please download FULL Report § Arla Foods, Europe’s largest milk processing cooperative, launched its Lactofree range in 2006.
