This summer, LACTAID Sunday Dairies is delivering even more ways to indulge all season long — from free LACTAID Ice Cream pop-ups in New York City and Los Angeles to a nationwide sweepstake offering the chance to win a year's supply of LACTAID Ice Cream.

Available in three varieties: Mild Cheddar Shredded Cheese, Mozzarella Shredded Cheese and Mozzarella String Cheese, each new product is made with real dairy and delivers 0g of lactose.

The evolution of flavor modulation in dairy highlights the challenge of maintaining indulgent taste and smooth texture while integrating high-protein and functional ingredients. As consumer preferences shift, formulators are turning to layered systems of flavor builders and modulators for innovative solutions.

Made with real dairy milk sourced from DFA family farms, Kemps Protein+ delivers 13 grams of protein per serving — 50% more than regular milk – along with 50% less sugar. The milk is ultra filtered to concentrate protein, while reducing sugar, resulting in a rich, creamy taste, the company said.

LACTAID Cherry Fudge Chip will be available in the freezer section at most major grocery stores nationwide shortly. MSRP is $5.49.

Consumer demand for lactose-free dairy is rising, driving the use of membrane filtration to remove lactose while preserving nutrients. The market is projected to reach $12.54B by 2026 and $18.95B by 2035, fueled by lactose intolerance, health trends, and innovation.

The transition streamlines UNC Dairy’s portfolio, bringing its high-quality lactose free offerings under the same trusted name that consumers associate with local, farm-fresh dairy. While the logo and packaging have been refreshed to align with the Upstate Farms brand, the product remains unchanged.

The new line of ultrafiltered milks deliver high protein, lower sugar, lactose free nutrition, and added prebiotic fiber for gut health benefits — all in a half-gallon format.

Transformative changes are underway for the dairy industry in 2026, with new Dietary Guidelines promoting whole dairy products and the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act enabling diverse milk options in schools. These developments mark a "platinum era" for dairy, enhancing health and consumer choice.
