Dairy-Free

Nogürt is proud to be free from all dairy ingredients. Even our probiotic cultures are dairy free.

You may already be aware that an allergic reaction to dairy products (yogurt, milk, cheese and other bi-products) is the most common food allergy on Earth. While people commonly think of dairy allergies as lactose intolerance, this is a misconception. Dairy allergies are actually caused by casein, which is the main protein in dairy. Lactose, on the other hand, is a complex sugar in dairy products which causes food intolerances in millions more people.

Scientists estimate that tens of millions of people suffer from an allergy to casein found in all dairy products, including dairy yogurts and lactose free dairy milk.

Allergies to the casein in dairy can trigger your immune system to react, causing potential life threatening symptoms such as hives, difficulty breathing, itching, constriction of airways and other anaphylactic responses. Additionally, lactose intolerance results in more subtle reactions, including bloating, diarrhea, upset stomach and/or gas.

Whether you have a dairy allergy or intolerance, Nogürt is a new way for you to think about yogurt - enjoy its benefits again.
