Betta, Tasmania’s most recognised milk, just got even better, with a new range of high-protein, lactose-free milks.
Betta Milk has added a high-protein lactose-free milk to its range of white milks, creams and flavoured milks.
Already rich in calcium, vitamins and minerals, the new high-protein lactose-free full-cream milk contains 50 per cent more protein than Betta’s regular full-cream milk.
Betta’s lactose-free milk is made with cow’s milk, but has been treated to remove the lactase enzyme which may cause digestive problems such as gas, bloating and indigestion.
It is more easily digested than regular milk, especially for those who are lactose-intolerant. The Betta range already includes full-cream and light lactose-free white milk options.
Betta Milk is part of the TasFoods family. TasFoods CEO Scott Hadley said the new high-protein lactose-free milk aligned with major consumer trends across food and drink products.
“We know that many consumers are choosing higher protein foods and drinks for their many health benefits, and that lactose-free products are also fast gaining popularity for their easy digestibility,” he said.
“We saw an opportunity to meet both trends with a delicious-tasting staple that appeals to those with lactose intolerance as well as those pursuing a healthier lifestyle.”
The Betta Plus range of flavoured milks has also introduced new lactose-free flavours, with Betta Jive lactose-free Chocolate and Betta Plus lactose-free Double Espresso available now. The Betta Plus flavoured milk range will also launch a lactose-free Protein Plus range, with 30 grams of protein per serve.
