Guest guest Posted July 1, 2003 Report Share Posted July 1, 2003 They just had to contaminate it, didn't they? Darn. And their claim of having no milk in it is interesting unless they wish to specify the source of the lactic acid. In fact, what is the source of non-dairy lactic acid, as " lactic " refers specifically to milk? Anyone know?

Worse, the same additive often can be derived either from dairy or non-dairy sources, with no way to know which has been used. And just about everything depends on the purity of the manufacturing process. The same additive that may be labeled " not a source of lactose " in one food may prove to have lactose in another.>>>>> source: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/stevecarper/ experts.htm snipped>>>Lactose, or milk sugar, should not be confused with the much more common lactic acid, or with galactose, which are not dairy derived. Lactose is generally indicate by -lacto- while lactic acid is indicated by -lact- in an ingredient name. Lactic acid can be safely assumed to be vegan unless its part of a compound such as a stearate (described above). Because of the large number of people who cannot properly digest lactose (lactose-intolerant), this ingredient is less common in commercial foods, but is frequently found as a base in medicines and other products.>>>>> source: http://www.ca4a.org/literature/ingredients.html ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~> , The Stewarts <stews9@c...> wrote: > In fact, what is the source of non-dairy lactic acid, as " lactic " refers > specifically to milk?
