The brand portfolio, which already includes a hard cheese, yoghurts and whole and semi-skimmed milk, will now include a soft cheese.


Arla launched the Lactofree soft cheese exclusively in Sainsbury’s this month and is available in 200g tubs at GBP1.34 (US$1.91).


All products in the range are produced using cows’ milk that has been filtered to remove the lactose.


Samantha Glassford, brand manager for Lactofree, said: “We are always looking to give customers with lactose intolerance more choice in their diets, and are really excited to be launching a soft cheese. It looks, tastes and has the same cooking properties as the standard dairy version, just without the lactose – so we expect it to be as popular as the rest of the products in the range.”
