Did you know that? Ice cream is the favourite dessert of the French during the summer. In France, we consume an average of 6 litres per year per person.
Is there lactose in ice cream? It depends...
To be preciseice cream" is not "ice cream":
- An ice cream is a sweetened and flavoured cream served frozen. It is an emulsion of proteins, fats from vegetable matter, milk and/or egg and sugars. The lactose is therefore present in the ice.
- An ice cream is made from dairy products (milk or cream) with egg yolks, flavourings and sugars. Its composition must contain at least 5% of milk fat.
Lactose is also present in ice cream.
The other frozen pleasures :
- A sorbet is made from water and sugar, with no added fat (no added cream). It contains a minimum of 25% of fruit and/or vegetables, this proportion being subject to strict control and legislation. With a few rare exceptions (always check the composition), there is no lactose in sorbet (or at least it's not supposed to be).
- Popsicles are made of... water, fruit juice, sugar and colouring. However, we must remain wary because, depending on the brand, they regularly contain lactose.
- Soy ice creamThese are beginning to appear in trays, cones and sticks. They are also available in some organic shops under the Italian brand name NATURATTIVA. Try them and you'll be pleasantly surprised! A 'peace of mind' alternative if you don't want any nasty surprises.
- As for the ice cream coneIt contains lactose in most cases.
How can you enjoy ice cream in complete peace of mind?
At Lactolérance, we recommend that all lovers of the pleasures of milk should opt for lactase supplementation to help them manage their lactose intolerance and digest their summer treats with peace of mind.
Our food supplements enable you to assimilate the lactose content of ice cream (or even several for the greediest among you), we do however recommend that you adapt your intake of lactase capsules depending on your level of intolerance and the number of milk products consumed in addition to your ice cream (for example, if it is eaten at the end of a meal).
So refresh your mind and stay alert with Lactolerance!
