lactose-free

No milk sugar

Lactose-free describes food or drink that contains no lactose, the sugar naturally present in milk.

Lactose-free milk has been treated with enzymes that break down the lactose, making it digestible for people with lactose intolerance: I switched to lactose-free milk and the stomach cramps stopped.

The label appears on dairy products and dairy alternatives alike.
