Can you consume products that contain lactitol if you are allergic to cow’s milk proteins?
Lactitol, produced from lactose, is used as sweetener. It can contain traces of proteins (approximately 3 mg/kg casein and 10 mg/kg of beta-lactoglobuline). Nevertheless, the European Food Safety Authority recently specified that in a normal diet, sweeteners with lactitol are in principle without risk for people with cow’s milk protein allergy.
