Milk Derivatives
milk derivatives, milk, lactose, milk sugar, casein, caseine, caseinate, sodium caseinate, calcium caseinate, whey, whey powder, whey protein, whey protein concentrate, whey protein isolate, milk protein, milk protein concentrate, milk solids, nonfat milk solids, skimmed milk powder, milk powder
What it is
Ingredients derived from milk, including lactose (milk sugar), casein and caseinates (milk proteins), and whey or whey proteins.
Why BOTIA flags it
BOTIA flags these terms because they indicate a declared milk-derived ingredient. EU food-information rules list milk and products thereof, including lactose, among substances requiring allergen declaration, subject to specified exceptions.
BOTIA CAN
- Identify common declared milk-derived terms such as lactose, casein, caseinates, whey and whey proteins.
- Trigger the animal-origin information layer when a milk-derived ingredient is explicitly declared.
BOTIA CANNOT
- Determine the quantity of lactose or milk protein present from the ingredient list alone.
- Determine whether processing has removed allergenic milk proteins or quantify residual lactose without product-specific analytical information.
