What the AI looks for in Non-Dairy Pudding Snacks
- Base milk
- Check whether the base is coconut, almond, soy or oat milk, especially if you have nut or soy allergies. The base sets both the allergen profile and the flavor.
- Truly dairy-free labeling
- Look for an explicit dairy-free or vegan label. 'Lactose-free' still means dairy. Lactose-free products contain milk protein, which people with a milk allergy must avoid.
- Thickener
- Chia, starch and gum thickeners give very different textures. Texture is the main reason people return non-dairy puddings.
Brands that matter
- The Chia Co: Coconut-milk chia pudding pods.
What to avoid
- Products labeled only 'lactose-free' when you need fully dairy-free.
Questions
Is lactose-free pudding the same as dairy-free?
No. Lactose-free pudding still contains milk protein, so it is unsafe for a milk allergy.
