Published

Summary

Amul Lactose Free Milk is toned UHT milk with the lactose split by an added enzyme, made for people who find ordinary milk hard to digest. It scores CA2: middling on nutrition because protein is moderate and calcium adds the rest, top on ingredients because the list is just milk and an enzyme, and low on risk. A sensible everyday glass for anyone avoiding lactose.

What to know about Amul Lactose Free Milk

Plain toned milk with the lactose already split

Amul Lactose Free Milk is a 250 mL Tetra Pak of UHT, homogenised toned milk with an enzyme, beta galactosidase, added to break the lactose down. The list has only those two items and no declared percentages. It is bought by people who are lactose intolerant and still want the taste of ordinary milk.

One pack is one serve: 148 kcal, 7.5 g protein, 7.8 g fat, 5.0 g saturated fat and 350 mg calcium. Per 100 mL that is 59.2 kcal, 3.0 g protein, 2.0 g saturated fat, 140 mg calcium and 42 mg sodium. Sugars are 4.8 g per 100 mL, none of it added.

The front says lactose free and less than 0.1% lactose, and the panel agrees, with lactose under 0.01 g per pack. What the name does not say is that the sugars stay the same as in milk: the lactose is split into galactose and glucose, not removed. CleanPlate scores it CA2.

Why Amul Lactose Free Milk scores CA2

Nutrition is a C on 3.0 g protein and 140 mg calcium per 100 mL. Ingredients are an A because the list is only milk and an enzyme, and risk is a 2, driven by 2.0 g saturated fat per 100 mL.

01 Nutrition density: why C

Protein is 3.0 g per 100 mL, so 7.5 g in one 250 mL pack, all from the milk itself. Calcium is 140 mg per 100 mL, 350 mg a pack, and that mineral credit lifts the grade above what protein alone would earn.

There is no fibre, and no vitamins are declared on the panel, so little else adds to the grade.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why A

The list is toned milk and the enzyme beta galactosidase, with no sweetener, flavour, colour or stabiliser. That earns the top grade for ingredients.

The enzyme costs a single ingredient point, and no label promise is hollow, so nothing else is deducted.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

Saturated fat

03 Load risk: why 2

Saturated fat is the largest part of the risk number: 2.0 g per 100 mL, 5.0 g in a pack. Sodium is 42 mg per 100 mL and energy 59.2 kcal, which add a little.

Added sugar is 0 g and trans fat is 0 g, so neither counts. The 4.8 g of sugars per 100 mL are natural milk sugars, split into galactose and glucose.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

    Holds

    Lactose is declared at under 0.01 g per 250 mL pack, and the front states less than 0.1%.

  • Retail listing

    “Goodness of protein”

    Holds

    It has 3.0 g protein per 100 mL, 7.5 g per pack, all from milk.

  • Retail listing

    “Helps in easy digestion of milk”

    Be careful

    True for people who are lactose intolerant, since the lactose is split. It does not lower the sugars: 12 g per pack remain, as galactose and glucose.

  • On the pack

    “Added Sugars 0.0g”

    Holds

    No sugar is added. The 12 g of sugars per pack come from the milk.

  • On the pack

    “No preservatives added”

    Holds

    No preservative is listed. The milk keeps through UHT treatment and sealed packaging.

What's in Amul Lactose Free Milk?

Toned milk leads the list, followed by one enzyme that splits the lactose. Saturated fat is the one thing to watch.

The ingredient list, read for you

Toned milk comes first and makes up nearly all of the pack. The only other item is beta galactosidase, an enzyme that breaks lactose into galactose and glucose, which is what makes the milk lactose free. No sweetener, flavour or stabiliser is listed.

Ingredients to watch

  • Saturated fatWorth watching

    2.0 g per 100 mL, 5.0 g in one pack. It is the main driver of the risk number.

  • SugarsWorth watching

    4.8 g per 100 mL, 12 g per pack, all natural and none added. Lactose free does not mean lower sugar.

  • Enzyme (beta galactosidase)Fine

    A processing enzyme that splits lactose. It costs a single ingredient point.

  • Calcium and proteinFine

    140 mg calcium and 3.0 g protein per 100 mL, so 350 mg and 7.5 g in a pack.

What it doesn’t have

  • No vitamins are declared on the panel, although the pack text mentions vitamins.

Who should eat Amul Lactose Free Milk?
