Bega has released a lactose free range of some of its most popular milk products, which includes the highly anticipated arrival of the lactose free version of Dare’s double espresso as well as lactose free chocolate flavoured milk from Dairy Farmers Classic and Big M.

Bega Dairy and Drinks head of milk beverages Helen Cheeseman said the Bega team had worked hard to ensure the new lactose-free options tasted just like the originals.

“We’re excited to now be offering lactose free options of some of our most popular, great tasting milk beverages so that Aussies who are sensitive to lactose can once again enjoy their favourite iced coffee or flavoured milk,” said Cheeseman.

Alongside the release of the lactose free range, Bega are offering limited edition Dairy Farmers Classic and Big M flavours.

For those who can stomach lactose, Dairy Farmers Classic and Big M are returning Banana Split flavoured milk to shelves for a limited time, featuring sweet flavour notes of banana and vanilla, wafer and peanut.

For chocolate lovers, the Dairy Farmers Classic team are launching a new limited-edition Choc Malt flavour.

“The team are always looking to excite Aussies with limited-edition flavoured milks featuring fun flavour combinations. The release of our Banana Split flavour a few years ago was so popular we’re delighted to offer it again,” said Cheeseman.

Dare Lactose Free Double Espresso is available at Coles, Woolworths and independent retailers and Convenience stores in QLD, NSW, ACT and VIC.
Big M Lactose Free Double Choc and Big M Banana Split is available in Victorian Coles, Woolworths, and independent retailers and Convenience stores.
