that seems a bit more likely than having just one, all the time
Considering that a fistful is just about an entire package, I'm not so sure. Tic tacs are supposed to be breath mints, not candy. If you wanted to eat candy why wouldn't you just buy, like, skittles?

Re: Can a product with "0g sugar" contain lactose?
#102I developed a severe dairy protein allergy in my late 30s. At first, I thought it was just a lactose issue but anything dairy triggers it (with symptoms aligning with vasculitis). While I'm not vegan, it's just easier to eat vegan food when I go to a restaurant. I generally know what's safe from the grocery store but always look for the Contains Milk or Dairy Free labels. The labeling is extremely important. I find i…
My son is anaphylactic on contact with cow's milk. We're on an experimental program to reverse this by dosing him with milks closer and closer to cow's. If you're interested (and courageous) try camel milk - it's the furthest away milk from cow in the program.

It's not possible to filter lactose out of the milk. The only possibility to get lactose free milk is to split lactose into glucose and galactose with the enzyme lactase. And that's actually is done: just dump lactase into cow milk. I never drank not sweet lactose free milk. But, if one is about to make a milk powder, then it is possible to remove the split lactose sugar crystals. But it's not milk anymore..
Fairlife brand lactose brand milk claims that they are able to do it.

You can do it the other way around: instead of filtering lactose out of the milk you filter the solids making a protein and fats concentrate. This is mostly used as a preprocessing step for cheese production, but by rehydrating you get ultra-filtered milk, which are lactose-free and not sweet.
So it's possible. Thank for pointing out.

If it's meant to be a breath mint, why is it available in flavours other than mint, like Orange, Strawberry & cream and Tropical Adventure?
