The seal

The interested companies can include the NO LACTOSE seal on their products. The NO LACTOSE seal is a international trademark registered by Adilac in the European Union, United States, China, Rusia, among other countries. This seal identifies the products that do not contain lactose and, above all, guarantees that the products that do contain it comply with all of the requirements established by Adilac in the Regulation for use – laboratory analysis, monitoring and control, etc.- laboratories. For the analysis of detecting lactose in food, different diagnosis methods can be used, although the two main and most used ones currently are HPLC/PAD and (enzymatic) spectrophotometry methods

A product is considered 0% LACTOSE if it has <0.01% = <0.01gr/100gr = <10mg/100gr = <100mg/1Kg = <100ppm
This is the limit currently applied by the most demanding regulations in the European Union and is the limit accepted by AECOSAN in Spain in order for a product to be considered lactose-free.
