Smith Dairy Products Co., Orrville, Ohio, expanded its SMITH’S brand of premium dairy products to include a complete line of high-quality lactose-free milk in whole, 2% reduced fat and fat-free varieties.

How it works is, a natural enzyme is added to cow’s milk to remove lactose, resulting in a lactose-free, gluten-free beverage that’s easy to digest and contains nine essential vitamins and nutrients.

“We have a long history of listening to our customers; there is a growing lactose intolerance among consumers, which encouraged us to create this dairy option,” says Penny Baker, director of marketing. “Our new lactose-free milk has the same great taste our customers expect from SMITH'S and allows everyone to love dairy again.”

SMITH’S Lactose Free Milk is available in half-gallon cartons for a suggested retail price of $3.79-3.99.
