If you have a lactose intolerance that has forced you to forego Philadelphia Cream Cheese, you’re in for a big surprise. Kraft Heinz has announced that it’s releasing a lactose-free cream cheese made with the same milk and cream as the original. Philadelphia Lactose Free uses a lactase enzyme to help make the product easier to digest for people who are sensitive to lactose, allowing consumers to enjoy the real dairy cream cheese without the discomfort or tradeoffs. The new product also has no added preservatives, flavors or dyes. The company said the cream cheese is equally suited to the original for spreading on bagels or incorporating into cheesecakes. The new cream cheese will be available at major retailers nationwide starting in August in the brand’s brick form.
