Yes it all looks ok to me. Dairy free chocolate things can be found but it is a struggle.

Hello

Personally if I see Iron on the list of ingredients I don't buy it as they use caseinate to make the added iron. Quote from 'Easy wheat, egg and milk-free cooking by Rita Greer'

"If you see any of the following items listed as an ingredient in a food it may not be milk free:

Albumin, Calcium, Casein, Curds, Iron, Latic acid, Lactose, Magnesium, Milk, Milk proteins, Milk solids, Potassium, Sodium, Whey and Zinc."

But they are still quite a few cereals about, it most health food shop ones and organic ones are ok. Aldi's strawberry crunch and monster puffs are my sons favorite! and contain no iron!

I hope that helps

I thought Lactic Acid was okay?

[Kate and Rocco]

I must admit I have read differing things but, latic acid is listed in the book I mentioned earlier as MAY contain milk it says "Milk is added to products to enrich them. Components of milk can also be used in manufacturing" personally because its a matter of life or death for us, if I have read don't have them, then we don't take a chance.

like several things they MAY contain but don't write them off just from that list.

lactic acid can be from milk but is also available by other means. you make lactic acid when you exercise lots !

so read properly and if they aren't specific that it is dairy free then avoid but otherwise you should be fine.

there's also the chance that you might be able to tolerate lactic acid...like most things we are each slightly different.

Kellogg's Coco Pops ingredients:

Rice, Sugar, Chocolate (6%) (Sugar, Cocoa Mass), Fat Reduced Cocoa Powder, Calcium Carbonate, Salt, Glucose-Fructose Syrup, Barley Malt Flavouring, Flavouring, Niacin, Iron, Vitamin B6, Riboflavin (B2), Thiamin (B1), Folic Acid, Vitamin B12.

They are listed as vegan-friendly on the Kellogg's web site - yay! No dairy!

The Nestle web site has lists of products suitable for dairy-free, vegan, vegetarian, soya-free and egg-free diets, amongst others. There aren't any cereals listed as suitable for dairy free, which is a shame as I love Cookie Crisp!

I tried Cookie crisp once & it tasted of cardboard! But its good to know that Dairy free or LActose intollerent children won't be disappointed.

I give cookie-crisp to my daughter and coco-pops. They are dairy free. I contact both cpompanies and I am awaiting a list of there other ceral that is dairy free.

I was surprised to find milk in a box of rice-snaps I bought but thankfully Tescos home-brand of rice-snacks are milk free and so are there coco-pops
