Best Answer

Lactose free means that the product with that label is without the simple sugar of lactose found in dairy.

This means those with lactose intolerance can consume the item without getting sick most of the time.

Is lactobacillus dairy free?

Lactose free products are NOT the same as dairy free products.

A dairy free probiotic means it does not contain either lactose (milk sugars) or milk proteins.

Does lactose free milk contain lactic acid or when it ferments is lactic acid produced?

As far as I know lactose free milk does not contain lactic acid. They put in lactase to 'destroy' the lactose, which makes it lactose free! So no, and it probably won't be produced either. I hope this helps!
