Melkvrije

Melkvrije is a Dutch term that translates to "milk-free" or "dairy-free." It refers to products, meals, or diets that do not contain any milk or milk derivatives. The term is commonly used in the Netherlands to indicate that a product is suitable for individuals who are lactose intolerant, have a milk allergy, or follow a vegan diet.

The melkvrije label is often found on products such as bread, cereals, margarine, and spreads. These products are typically made with plant-based alternatives to milk, such as soy, almond, or oat milk. In the context of food service, a melkvrije option may be available on menus, indicating that the dish is prepared without the use of milk or dairy products.

The melkvrije designation is part of a broader trend in the Netherlands towards greater awareness and accommodation of dietary restrictions and preferences. It reflects a commitment to inclusivity and accessibility in food choices, ensuring that a wider range of consumers can enjoy a variety of products and meals.
