I was overwhelmed by the amount of dairy products the first time I walked into a grocery store in Stockholm. There are the standard ones that can be found in many countries, however, the products I am discussing here were the most confusing. In addition, I have never had an issue with lactose, but many of the products in Sweden have a higher lactose content so it took some trial and error to realize what I could safely consume. Many of the dairy products have a low lactose or no lactose option which will have ‘laktos-fri’ on the package.
After living in Sweden for 2 years, I now understand the different products and have decided to publish a little guide for expats.
So, without further ado, here is your handy guide!
