It Sounds Like Dairy
There are several food products
that sound like they are derived
from dairy but are not.
The following is a list of
non-dairy food products.
- Calcium Propionate
- Calcium Stearoyl
- Cocoa Powder
- Lactylate*
- Lecithin
- Mannitol
- Mono-Diglycerides
- Sodium Lactylate*
- Sodium Stearoyl
Lactylate*
- Sorbic Acid
- Starch
*Call the manufacturer to
confirm the product's lactylate ingredient
is dairy-free.
Parenting Tip:
Let your child pour orange
juice in a bowl of non-dairy
breakfast cereal to be "just
like the other kids." If
this is too sweet, some children
enjoy water in their cereal
bowls.
| Tip for Eating Healthy
If you cannot eat dairy, try to
include chick peas, pork, lamb
and other foods that are high in calcium
in your diet.

Dairy Allergy |
 |
|
| If you are allergic to dairy, you have
already experienced the difficulty in finding
dairy-free processed food products. After all,
even things that look safe may contain traces of
your allergen.
There are many items you should research and
possibly avoid that may contain dairy ingredients.
For instance, caramel color, artificial butter
flavor, seasonings and flavorings may include
dairy. Be cautious when purchasing canned fish,
tuna fish and processed meats. Never purchase deli
meat sliced in a food mart as deli slicers
are used for both cheese and meat. Additionally, many deli meats have milk additives
themselves.
Some hygiene products and cosmetics are made with
dairy derivatives. There are also medications and
supplements that are made with casein enriched
cornstarch.
When you are shopping, beware of labels advertising,
“non-dairy substitutes.” A surprising number of
products labeled “non-dairy” actually contain small
amounts of milk. |
