Healthy Choice Ham - potassium lactate

[Guest guest]

Can someone tell me if the potassium lactate in Healthy Choice brand ham is

casein-free? I know that we usually avoid lactate, but I have heard that it

can be derived without casein...anybody able to tell me if we can eat this

or not?

Thanks,

Hi

I had a similar question regarding Applegate Farms turkey bologna,

which contains *sodium* lactate, and the company told me that it is

derived from corn and beets, and I have heard that it has similar

properties to potassium lactate and calcium lactate (the calcium

source in Minute Maid orange juice). So the chances are very good

that it is NOT dairy derived. My further suggestion to you for

verification (besides the company) is to search dairy free sites or

kosher sites, because they discuss this very subject.

I wish you luck, this diet is a constant challenge isn't it??
