In New Zealand, Anchor has released a lactose-free, fresh cow’s milk, a first for the country. The product, Zero Lacto, is made from cow’s milk, and while it does contain cow’s milk protein, its lactose milk sugar has been removed. Yet, purportedly, the drink contains the same amount of natural calcium as cow’s milk.
Lion Foods, meanwhile, has altered its milk manufacturing processes in Australia to remove permeate, the milk production by-product. It is sometimes added to milk to dilute protein levels or to cut fat.
