Does vanilla have lactose in it?!


Question: Does vanilla have lactose in it!?
I'm lactose intolerant and am wondering if vanilla is safe to drink in my coffee!.

Thanks!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Pure vanilla extract, which contains only alcohol and vanilla, contains no lactose!.

However, there are plenty of vanilla flavorings out there that may be based on dairy ingredients!. Coffee Mate ("Non-Dairy Creamer") contains no lactose, but does contain a milk protein ingredient!. So, those with true milk allergies or milk protein intolerance should be careful about the misleading "non-dairy" claim!.

Most coffee flavorings, such as Torani syrups, are simply sugar (or a similar sweetener like corn syrup) water with natural and/or artificial ingredients!. They contain no dairy and therefore no lactose!.

One additional word of warning: lactose is milk sugar!. As such, it is sometimes used as a sweetener!. For example, candy bars sometimes list lactose as an ingredient!. It's used instead of (or in addition to) cane sugar or corn syrup!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

nope lactose is primarily a sugar in dairy products like milk and yogurt!. Vanilla is a bean and has no lactose in it!. lactose only comes from animal products!. Plants have fructose, and glucose and sucrose in them so you should be fine!. however if it is a vanilla creamer then you have a problem there because creamer is a dairy product!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vanilla is a flavoring made from a root!. It is often added to dairy products for flavoring, such as ice cream!.

There are many non-dairy creamers available in flavors that include Vanilla!. Ironically, it's usually found in the dairy section of the supermarket, next to the milk!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No, vanilla extract, whether real or artificial (or the beans themselves, for that matter), does not contain lactose!. Just be sure you only add a couple of drops, though, or it will taste awful - believe me, a couple of drops will add plenty of flavor!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vanilla does not have lactose in it!. Vanilla flavorings, extracts and imitations do not either!. You'll find some great information on these items here!.!.!.http://www!.vanilla!.com/html/facts-extrac!.!.!.

There are some soy based, lactose-free vanilla products in the markets!. Check out the health foods section or visit your local health foods store!.

Breyers is even making a lactose-free vanilla ice cream, so if it's ice cream you want to add (!!) be sure to seek out this one!.

Do a google search for "lactose free" vanilla products and enjoy your java!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

No it does not!. Lactose generally is in dairy products!. If you are talking about vanilla creamer then yes it does!. Vanilla comes from a bean!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Vanilla is a plant extract!. If you're talking about vanilla creamer, then you've got another problem!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I dont think so, unless you know of a plant that produces milk along with its product like the vanilla orchid would!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
