Okay, Lets look closer:
Dilemma: My non-diary creamer contained milk.
Dairy/Lactose allergies may seem to be a pretty easy one when it comes to finding replacements. The problem is that a lot of things take out your bold "contains milk" and hides things in the ingredients such as "milk derivative" or "creamed." "Casein" and "Whey" are other names that milk can be called on a label.
Ingredients to Avoid:
butter
butter fat/oil
butter flavor
buttermilk
casein
caseinate (ammonium, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium)
cheese
chocolate
cottage cheese
cream
curds
custard
ghee
half & half
hydrolysates (casein, milk protein, protein, whey, whey protein)
ice cream
lactalbumin
lactoglobulin
lactose
lactulose
milk (derivative, powder, protein, solids, malted, condensed, evaporated, dry, whole, low-fat, non-fat, skimmed, goat’s)
nougat
pudding
rennet casein
sour cream
whey
yogurt
Note: Just because something is Lactose-free does not mean it is Milk-Free.
Lactose: A sugar present in milk. It is a disaccharide containing glucose and galactose units. Lactose makes up around 2–8% of milk.
People with milk allergies are allergic to the milk protein, which remains when the lactose is removed.
Ingredients that MAY contain milk protein:
bavarian cream
brown sugar
butter
coconut cream
diet beverages
egg substitutes
flavorings including caramel
gravy mixtures
high protein flour
hotdogs
lunch meats
margarine
natural chocolate
salad dressing
sausages
Simplesse: Commonly found in baked products, cakes, donuts, breads, frozen desserts, creamed foods and soups.
tuna
Note: “D” on label next to “K” or “U” indicates presence of milk protein
Some Hidden Sources of Milk:
- Deli meat slicers are frequently used for both meat and cheese products.
- Some brands of canned tuna fish contain casein, a milk protein.
- Many non-dairy products contain casein (a milk derivative), listed on the ingredient labels.
- Some meats may contain casein as a binder. Check all labels carefully.
- Many restaurants put butter on steaks after they have been grilled to add extra flavor. The butter is not visible after it melts.
Safe ingredients:
Calcium lactate
Calcuium stearoyl lactylate
Cocoa butter
Cream of tartar
Lactic acid (however, lactic acid starter culture may contain milk)
Oleoresin
Sodium lactate
Sodium stearoyl lactylate
Simple Replacements:
Alternatives to milk: (make sure you are not allergic to any of the replacements: goat's milk, soy, etc.)
Almond Milk
Coconut Milk
Goat's Milk
Oat Milk
Rice Milk
Soy Milk
Hope that helps!!!
