Choosing the right lactose for specific applications

With a purity of 99%, our lactose is an ideal carbohydrate for use in the manufacture of infant formula, where the composition of the final product is subject to detailed control.

Food safety and powder quality are top priorities when choosing the right lactose for a variety of food products and lactose derivatives.

With our lactose range, we aim to meet your demands for specific applications.

All our lactose products are Kosher and Halal and have uniform powder properties across our production sites. They are available as unmilled, mesh 100 and mesh 200. Our packaging material is designed to preserve the excellent powder properties and food safety of our lactose throughout its 24-month shelf life.

Premium lactose for infant formula and other food applications

Our premium lactose products target infant formula and other food applications that place the highest demands on microbiological food safety. Free from annatto and bleaching agents, they exceed the strictest international standards and is suitable for dry blending. Dry blending of infant formula with our Premium lactose improves your flexibility and efficiency and can potentially increase your production capacity by up to 25%.

Premium lactose is also an ideal raw material for further processing into lactose derivatives, such as lactulose and GOS. It is an important fermentation substrate for the development of bacterial cultures used in yoghurt and cheese production.
