No, powdered milk is not lactose free.
Powdered milk, also commonly known as dry milk solids or non-fat dry milk powder, contains lactose. Lactose is a sugar naturally found in milk and most dairy products.
According to the provided information, "Any product with milk, lactose, whey, curds, milk byproducts, dry milk solids or non-fat dry milk powder listed in its ingredients will have lactose in it."
Since powdered milk falls under the category of dry milk solids or non-fat dry milk powder, it contains lactose. This means that individuals with lactose intolerance should avoid regular powdered milk.
Products that contain lactose often list ingredients such as:
- Milk
- Lactose
- Whey
- Curds
- Milk byproducts
- Dry milk solids
- Non-fat dry milk powder
Therefore, always check the ingredient list if you need to avoid lactose. If "dry milk solids" or "non-fat dry milk powder" is listed, the product contains lactose.
