OAK, an Australian dairy brand owned by French multinational corporation Lactalisk, has officially debuted its best-selling chocolate milk beverage in a new lactose-free format. To accommodate an increased interest in lactose-free options in the Australian market, OAK has offered up its full-strength, full-flavor chocolate milk to provide a solution for those who are lactose intolerant but still want to enjoy the taste of chocolate milk.
Lactose-free dairy products continue to dominate the dairy industry as they give people with lactose intolerance, allergies, dietary constraints, or personal taste preferences a practical and delectable substitute.
The new OAK chocolate milk comes in a 600ml size option. It can be found at Woolworths, Coles, independent grocery locations, petrol stations, and convenience stores starting on April 17.
