SafeDoes stock cubes contain lactose?
Often yes. Many stock cubes and bouillon preparations contain lactose, used as a carrier for flavourings. It is an ingredient you never see, because it ends up inside something else: a risotto, a soup, a sauce, a braise.
Eating out
This is the classic case where a dish looks like "just vegetables" and the lactose came in through the stock.
Recipes change from one producer to the next and from one kitchen to the next: this is how something is usually made, not what is in the plate in front of you. The only answer that holds for your plate is the ingredient list on the packet, or the person who cooked it.
The same question, about the other one
And how did it go at the restaurant?
Knowing what is in a dish is half the answer. The other half is what actually happened to the people who ate it in a specific place — and that is what SafeBelly collects: no stars, just how it went afterwards.
