Living with the allergy

Milk is one of eight foods that are responsible for 90% of childhood allergies.

Many foods contain milk ingredients to help improve taste, texture, and nutrition.

Learning to read labels and knowing which foods contain any sources of milk is a key part of eating a milk-free diet.

Milk is the most common food that causes allergy in infants and young children.

It affects about 2-3% of those younger than 3 years old.

Many kids outgrow it, but some remain allergic for a lifetime.
