70% Lactose Free Milk?
I noticed, to my horror, that the carton of Lactaid in the refridgerator this afternoon didn’t say “100% Lactose Free” like it normally does, but instead it said “70% Lactose Free” in the little ‘banner’ area. There were absolutely no other differences in the package. My mother picked up this 70% milk, thinking it was the usual.
What the hell is the point of 70% lactose free milk? If you are intolerant to lactose, it will make you sick, you’ll want to avoid it completely. If you are tolerant, why the hell would you want to pay twice as much for milk?
All I know is that I felt sick after drinking it… so it’s not the same stuff, just with a different label, perhaps for some regulatory/legal reason.
So, let this serve as a warning… if you buy Lactaid milk, be certain you’re getting the right stuff, because if they’re selling 30% lactose on the sly, you might as well save money and buy regular milk. You’ll be sick just the same.
A tiny little number change, what a scam!
