Food label guide
Hidden dairy ingredients
Milk-derived ingredients can appear under unfamiliar names and in products that do not look obviously dairy-based. Aindly can flag these terms when dairy is part of your personal food watchlist.
Common dairy-derived terms
Look for milk, whey, casein, caseinate, milk solids, milk powder, cream, butterfat, lactose, and milk protein. Always follow formal allergen labelling if you have a milk allergy.
Where dairy can hide
Protein bars, savoury seasonings, chocolate, baked foods, creamy sauces, instant drinks, and meal replacements can contain dairy-derived ingredients.
