Valio FAST TRACK(TM) technology for lactose free milk production. SVP Harri Kallioinen, Valio R&D, explains.
Opportunity
While regular milk sales are decreasing, lactose free dairy sales, particularly lactose free milk, are increasing rapidly. 70% of the world’s population, 5.5 billion people, is lactose intolerant. Increasingly, people are becoming aware of digestive wellness and the health benefits of lactose free dairy. So there is a huge untapped market for lactose free dairy, particularly lactose free milk.
Challenge
Developing and producing great-tasting lactose free milk requires dairies to invest in product development and lactose filtering equipment. In addition, they need the tools and know-how to properly process the removed residue lactose and clean and maintain the filtering machinery. Such technical and financial barriers make it impossible for some to enter the lucrative lactose free milk market.
Solution
By separating the lactose at our modern facilities, our lactose free milk technology eliminates the need to invest heavily in advanced equipment. With our expertise, we can help you streamline your product development, optimise your manufacturing processes, and develop an effective go-to-market strategy, allowing you to kick-start your entry into the lactose free milk market.
