We had a great year with you. Check out the German post.

Experts identify “lactose intolerance” as the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in milk. About 15 – 25 percent of Germany’s inhabitants show an allergic reaction to milk and other dairy products. Even the best doctors haven’t been able to develop a remedy for this form of food allergy. Most people incorrectly assume that lactose is only in milk and other dairy products like cheese, yoghurt, or cream. But lactose can even be hidden in sausage, sauces, potato chips, fruit drinks, and other seemingly innocent foods. As a result, there are many people who have to read laboriously through each and every list of ingredients while they’re food shopping.

barcoo is now making life a whole lot easier for those users: in cooperation with the newly launched lactose intolerance portal Laktonaut, we’ve just added information on the lactose content of over 8,000 products – and that number is growing every day. It is only a clear indication that can quickly assure you whether a product is safe to be consumed.
