Is Chocolate Lactose Free?

Caution

Sometimes. Chocolate often contains lactose. Dark chocolate, however, contains less lactose per serving.

Chocolate and the Lactose Free Diet

Milk chocolate is a widely enjoyed type of chocolate that combines cocoa solids, sugar, and milk powder or milk solids to create its sweet, creamy flavor and texture. The inclusion of milk ingredients makes it distinct from dark chocolate and contributes to its lighter color and sweeter taste. Milk chocolate is commonly used in candy bars, baking, and as a coating for other confections.
