Does egg have lactose in it?

Question

I am lactose intolerant and was wondering if egg has lactose. I have read articles which say it does and some say it does not. please help!

Answer 1

No eggs do not contain lactose. If any of these ingredients are listed on a product, it may contain lactose. Watch out for whey, curds, dry milk solids, milk by-products, and nonfat dry milk powder.

Aside from foods naturally considered "dairy", you may find lactose in meats and other products! (Who knew?) Poultry, especially those big beautiful Butterball or Norbest or Perdue turkies sold for holiday dinners (frozen and fresh), are injected with butter, sodium nitrates, soy products and many other 'flavorful' ingredients. Many canned tuna and salmon producers have recently started adding milk to their products as well. Anything with seasoning sticking to it (seasoned french fries, Stove Top stuffing) is also suspect. These products contain whey because (you guessed it) it makes spices stick to things. Don't eat Burger King's "new" fries! They are laced with lactose!

Answer 2

no, an egg does not have the lactose sugar and should not bother you at all. As for being lactose intolerant you can take pills that will allow you to consume milk products.

Answer 3

No, lactose is only found in milk. Try looking up the word lactose, it should tell you that.

Answer 4

Eggs themselves are lactose-free, but some people add butter while frying and milk while scrambling, so it's best to ask how they're prepared if you're eating outside of the home! (Edited to correct "lactose-fee" to "lactose-free".)

Answer 5

no. Lactose comes from milk. Eggs come from chickens.

Answer 6

lactose comes from the milk of most mammals and they don't lay eggs birds do

Answer 7

no...lactose is milk sugar. it is the combination of galactose and glucose.
