In case of consumer packages Valio Zero LactoseTM SMP lactose free skimmed milk powder is available for worldwide mail orders in a convenient 400g retail package in an independent webstore Suomikauppa.fi (www.suomikauppa.fi/en). This webstore is not part of Valio Ltd, but we are glad to direct you to go shopping there.<br /><br /><br /><br />You can find the product through direct link: http://www.suomikaup...roducts_id=3974<br /><br /><br /><br />Valio Zero LactoseTM SMP is lactose free dried milk produced using Valio’s pioneering patented Valio Zero Lactose™ technology. It is produced from fresh Finnish skimmed milk by adding vitamin D and removing water. Lactose content is reduced using our pioneering technology which results in genuine pleasant milk taste, yet with only <0,01% lactose content in prepared milk drink. Valio Zero LactoseTM SMP lactose free skimmed milk powder contains natural milk protein and calcium and is produced from non-homogenized, pasteurized milk.<br /><br /><br /><br />Valio Zero LactoseTM SMP lactose free skimmed milk can be used as regular dried milk for preparation of lactose free milk drinks as well as for lactose free home baking and cooking. The shelf life of the product is 12 months in unopened packaging. This allows convenience to keep the product available as well for occasional use. Valio Zero LactoseTM SMP lactose free dried milk is also suitable for away from home and catering use.<br /><br /><br /><br />Addition of 80g of Valio Zero Lactose™ skimmed milk powder to 1 liter of water results in a liter of great tasting lactose free (<0,01% lactose) skimmed milk drink. In home baking and cooking dosing is 25% less than with regular milk powder.<br /><br />.<br />.<br />.<br /><br /><br />I have not tried it yet, so cannot vouch for the taste, or anything else, but it appears to be a valid lactose free powdered milk option in the USA!<br /><br />I hope that others find this useful!<br /><br />MatthewAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
