Lactose-free yogurts like Arla LactoFREE natural yogurt are made with cow’s milk, but the lactose is removed. That means you can still enjoy the natural dairy taste and nutrients like protein, calcium and vitamin B12, without the lactose.

At Arla, we use a special filtering technique to remove the lactose and retain all the goodness.

Dairy products like Arla LactoFREE natural yogurt can naturally have less lactose than milk, so can be easier to digest if you’re only mildly lactose intolerant. This is because of the live bacteria present in yogurt that help to break down some of the lactose.

To avoid the risk of stomach problems altogether, it’s worth going for a lactose free yogurt.

Yes, you can enjoy yogurts like Arla LactoFREE, which contain all the goodness of dairy including calcium and protein but without any of the lactose.
