ORRVILLE, Ohio — SMITH’S, a leading brand of premium dairy products, now offers a solution for the approximately 65 percent of the population that has a reduced ability to digest lactose: a complete line of high-quality lactose-free milk in whole, 2 % reduced fat, and fat free varieties. SMITH’S new lactose-free milk provides all of the same nutrients and vitamins that consumers expect in SMITH’S regular milk, but is easier to digest.
A natural enzyme is added to cow’s milk to remove lactose, resulting in a great-tasting, lactose free, gluten free beverage that is easy to digest and contains nine essential vitamins and nutrients. SMITH’S lactose-free milk is also Kosher certified.
“We have a long history of listening to our customers; there is a growing lactose intolerance among consumers which encouraged us to create this dairy option,” explains Penny Baker, director of marketing for SMITH’S. “Our new lactose-free milk has the same great taste our customers expect from SMITH'S and allows everyone to love dairy again.”
SMITH’S Lactose Free Milk is available in half-gallon cartons for a suggested retail price of $3.79 to $3.99 wherever SMITH’S brand products are sold.
