Lactose is often added to prepared foods to prevent caking or as a coating. Since this type of sugar is almost tasteless, it also makes for an ideal filler in bread and other baked goods, including cereals, pancakes, and cookies. It is also commonly added to canned and frozen vegetables to prevent discoloration. All commercial lactose used in western countries is obtained from cow's milk. In the Middle East and some African countries, it is sometimes a by-product of camel or goat's milk.

 

Hidden lactose is also found in many ready-to-eat powdered products such as dehydrated potatoes, soups, and meal-replacement supplements. Foods that are labeled non-dairy, including coffee creamers, may also contain it in the form of whey or dry milk solids.

Lactose is used in hundreds of over-the-counter and prescription drugs as a filler or coating. This include hundreds of pills, such as chewable acid reflux treatments, birth control pills, and throat lozenges. While the amount of milk sugar present in a single pill is hardly enough to affect most people, those with severe allergies should talk to their doctors before starting any new medication. Since lactose is essentially a sugar, people who suffer from diabetes should also limit or control its intake.
