ALWAYS READ THE LABEL !

Lactose lurks in the darkest of places and show up in products you wouldn't even think of. Lactose is found in many different food products such as some jellies, canned tuna and salmon. Lactose is also commonly applied to dried vegetables to prevent discolouration.

Also more than 20% of prescription drugs contain Lactose and over-the-counter medications are not Lactose Free either.

When ever buying anything that needs to be digested such as food or medications ALWAYS READ THE LABEL.

When reading a label on food, always read the Allergy Advice section first that will tell you straight away if MILK is in the food. If milk does not seem to be in the product, it is always safer to read the ingredients too, just to be on the safe side, as there is other food ingredients that surprisingly contain Lactose.
