A member asked:
Can you tell me if lacto-fermented mean that a person that is lactose intolerant should not eat it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Food prep method: The “lacto” portion of the term refers to a specific species of bacteria, namely Lactobacillus. These bacteria readily convert lactose or other sugars into lactic acid. However, lacto-fermentation does not necessarily involve dairy products.
