Valio has over 110 years of experience in dairy innovations and is the pioneer in lactose free products.
Since introducing lactose free in 2001, we have developed the largest range of lactose free dairy products available: from fresh milk drinks snacks and cooking products to milk powders.
The cornerstone of Valio lactose free is the belief that everyone should be free to enjoy dairy, without sacrificing on taste or quality. Since these products contain no lactose, they are easy to digest and suit even those who normally avoid milk due to unpleasant side effects.
Valio lactose free dairy products promise excellent taste while preserving the beneficial nutrients of milk. 0% lactose, 100% taste.

Lactose is a natural carbohydrate in milk that is also called milk sugar. Breast milk contains approximately 7 g of lactose per 100 g, and cow's milk has approximately 4.8 g per 100 g.
Lactose intolerance is a condition in which unabsorbed lactose causes digestive problems, such as diarrhoea, flatulence and bloating. These symptoms can vary greatly between individuals – and even in the same person between meals. The symptoms disappear when lactose is decreased or completely eliminated from the diet.
Lactose intolerance is a hereditary characteristic that usually develops during the growth. It can also be caused by diseases that destroy the intestinal mucosa. In this secondary type of lactose intolerance, when the intestinal mucosa heals, the ability to produce lactase is returned.
”Lactose intolerance is a hereditary characteristic.”
Watch Dr. Matti Harju explain what lactose intolerance is.
The lactase enzyme produced by body breaks lactose down into galactose and glucose. Galactose and glucose are absorbed into the blood circulation.
When the lactase enzyme is lacking or produced only in small quantities:
Lactase enzyme deficiency is most commonly a hereditary characteristic. In many populations, lactase deficiency is a prevalent characteristic. Only in populations where people are accustomed to drinking milk have the majority maintained a tolerance to lactose.

Valio is a true pioneer in lactose free dairy. After launching the world’s first totally lactose free milk drink in Finland in 2001, the company proceeded to develop a complete range of lactose free milk products with superior taste – over 100 products to date.
Lactose free milk products from Valio are suitable even for those with the highest sensitivity to lactose intolerance. The Valio Eila® lactose free brand stands for expertise in lactose free production and is a firm favourite in Valio’s domestic market.
Valio lactose free milk has the great taste of regular fresh milk. Lactose is removed from milk with the method patented by Valio, and the lactose content is 0 g per 100 g. It tastes like normal fresh milk and can be used in cooking just like ordinary products.
The lactose free milk drink has been the source of several innovations and was the launch pad for the development of Valio Eila® lactose free products, ingredients and technology.
Valio's new consumer powders are easy to digest*, so lactose intolerant consumers benefit from the milk nutrients, high protein content and added vitamin D, as part of a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.
* Products containing less lactose can help relieve the digestion problems caused by lactose for people suffering from lactose intolerance
