Kraft Naturals — Lactalis

The shredded varieties come in a resealable pouch for freshness and melt easily into recipes, like your favorite pastas, wraps, salads, baked potatoes and more, while the Mozzarella String Cheese offers a convenient, on-the-go snacking option with 12 individually wrapped portions per bag.

Kraft Natural Cheese announced the launch of its new Lactose-Free product line, expanding its portfolio to meet growing demand for dairy options that support a range of dietary needs without compromising on taste.

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 the flavor consumers know and love, but now with 0 grams of lactose.

“As consumer needs continue to evolve, we are focused on delivering products that make it easier for more people to enjoy the foods they love,” said Dhriti Batra, director of Kraft Natural Cheese at Lactalis Heritage Dairy.

“Our Lactose-Free shreds and string cheese bring the same trusted taste and quality that Kraft Natural Cheese is known for, but now in a way that fits seamlessly into more lifestyles and everyday routines.”

Kraft Natural Cheese’s new Lactose-Free products are crafted with added lactase, an enzyme commonly used in lactose-free milk that helps break down lactose and are designed for versatility across everyday meals and snacks.

The shredded varieties come in a resealable pouch for freshness and melt easily into recipes, like your favorite pastas, wraps, salads, baked potatoes and more, while the Mozzarella String Cheese offers a convenient, on-the-go snacking option with 12 individually wrapped portions per bag.

The Kraft Natural Cheese Lactose-Free product line is now available at select national retailers with additional doors to follow in the coming months.
