2025Year6June2,Swedish food regulatory agency (Livsmedelsverket) updated its policy to allow hard cheese to be labeled as lactose-free. The main points are as follows: hard cheese naturally does not contain lactose, and the lactose in milk is broken down during the production process, which can be labeled as "lactose-free", but the label must not be misleading, and only specific food can be labeled "lactose-free". The "lactose-free" label must be submitted to the Swedish Food Administration for declaration before it is put on the market. This update aims to help lactose intolerant consumers more easily find lactose-free alternatives and enhance their confidence and sense of security when purchasing cheese.
