Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Individuals who are lactose intolerant should avoid products whose ingredients list contains butter, cream, milk, milk solids, or whey. Many powdered meal replacement supplements contain hidden lactose. Yogurt is a low-lactose food, which may be tolerated in small servings.
