Fairlife Lactose Free Fat Free Milk — MUNCH
Munch or Dump rates Fairlife Lactose Free Fat Free Milk by Fairlife MUNCH — score 100/90.
fairlife is real cow's milk run through ultra-filtration to concentrate protein and strip out lactose and some sugar, so a cup of the whole version lands around 13 g protein and 6 g sugar, with only lactase enzyme and vitamins A and D added. The '50% more protein, 50% less sugar' claim is honest: nothing is added, the milk's own protein is simply concentrated. Clean, minimally processed, and does what it promises.
Why this verdict
- Ingredient list is essentially real milk plus lactase enzyme and vitamins A and D; classified NOVA 1, minimally processed
- About 13 g of naturally occurring protein per cup, concentrated by filtration rather than added
- Lactose-free and lower in sugar than regular milk, which backs its marketing claims
- No artificial additives, sweeteners, or thickeners anywhere on the label
Ingredients (4)
- Ultra-filtered milk (safe) — Real cow's milk concentrated by filtration; the whole product is essentially this.
- Lactase enzyme (safe) — Breaks lactose into digestible sugars, making it tolerable for the lactose-intolerant.
- Vitamin A palmitate (safe) — Standard fortification to replace vitamin A lost when fat is removed. A nutrient, not an additive of concern.
- vitamin D3 (safe) — Routine fortification that aids calcium absorption. Beneficial, not a red flag.
