So you’ve been told that you need to go dairy-free. If you suffer from a dairy intolerance or if one of your children has just been diagnosed, then it may require a complete overhaul in your regular shopping staples. Sure, milk is off the table now but what else contains dairy? When checking out the ingredient list on your favourite foods, have a look at the label. If the product contains these items, then it’s dairy and is probably best left on the shop shelf:
- Milks goats milk, half and half, acidophilus milk, condensed milk, low fat milk, hydrolysed milk protein, skim milk, dry milk powder, no fat milk, dry milk solids, evaporated milk, sour milk solids, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, milk fat, milk powder, malted milk,
- Butters and creams butter, natural butter flavour, butter fat, butter oil, buttermilk, buttermilk powder, cream, custard, sour cream, whipped cream, yoghurt,
- Cheeses cottage cheese, all animal based cheeses,
- Dessert nougat, paneer, pudding, whipped topping
- Caseintate calcium caseintate, ammonium caseintate, hydrolysed casein, iron caseintate, potassium caseintate, sodium caseintate, magnesium caseintate, zinc caseintate
- Whey Products whey, sweet whey, delactosed whey, demineralized whey, whey powder, whey protein concentrate, whey protein hydrolyse
- Other lactose, lactulose, lactalbumin, lactoferrin, lactoglobulin,
There are additional products that may contain traces of dairy products during the processing. These can include items such as:
- Artificial and natural flavouring
- Fat replacers
- Lactic Acid starter culture
- Prebiotics
- Margarine
- Hydrolysedvegetable protein
- Calcium or Sodium Stearoyl
- LactylateCalcium, Sodium, or Potassium Lactate
- Caramel Colour
- Lactic Acid
Dairy Free Alternatives
Does it feel like basically anything worth eating is now listed as a no-no? Well, the good news is that there are several items in the no-no categories (milks, butters and oils), that are actually dairy free. These include the surprising:
- Butters Shea butter, nut butters such as almond and peanut butter, fruit butter, coconut butter, cocoa butter and cocoa powder
- Malted products malted vinegar, malt liquor, malted barley or grain based malts
- Creams creamed honey, cream of tartar, cream of coconut, coconut cream,
- Milk products milk thistle
- Calcium products – Calcium Propionate, Calcium Carbonate, Calcium Citrate and Calcium Phosphate
While keeping track of what items are on the no-no list and what ingredients are okay may seem confusing now, it will get easier in time. Soon you won’t have a problem distinguishing calcium propionate and calcium caseintate and knowing which one is okay. But, for now, it’s okay to print this sheet off and use it as a cheat guide on your next trip to the shops. We won’t tell”
Response to “Your All Access Pass to Dairy Ingredients”
G’day Jenna,
It may seem like sound advice…”If you are dairy intolerent – milk is off the table”.
Sadly, my research continues to confirm that ‘mainstream medicine’ are incorrectly diagnosing LACTOSE INTOLERENCE at the rate of 82%. The truth is that 82% of people who are told they are lactose or dairy intolerent…ARE NOT. They are in fact unable to digest overprocessed dairy products.
I’ve done extensive research, because I am a dairy farmer, who milked goats for almost 20 years…as my wife and kids had be ‘diagnosed’. They now enjoy cow’s milk once again – either RAW straight out of the vat (which is not a legal option for most citizens) and now more importantly, our unhomogenised SCENIC RIM 4REAL MILK.
This experience has now been shared by thousands of our followers…since we cut ties with a major milk processor, and bottle our own milk on farm. They feel liberated, as they are once again able to incorporate real milk into all aspects of their diet.
Cheers,
Farmer Gregie 😉
