Living a lactose-intolerant life is not easy. But it appears that things are looking up a little for those who don’t do dairy due to digestive issues – OAK has just released a lactose-free version of its classic chocolate milk.

It’s a smart move. According to recent research, one in four Aussies claims to be sensitive to dairy. And Google searches for ‘lactose free’ have been rising steadily over the last five years, peaking at the end of 2022.

Recently, Ice Break has released a sans-lactose Iced Coffee and even Bega Stringers are now also lactose free. Now all we need is dairy-free Caramilk chocolate and we’re all set.

OAK Chocolate Lactose Free 600ml is now available at Woolworths, Coles, independent grocery, and petrol & convenience stores.
