Lactose-free products gain space after law of Juiz de Fora

After the laws that forced the supermarkets to reserve a space for diet products and gluten-free, lactose-free products now have won shelf space of Juiz de Fora. Came into force this month in the City Municipal law that determines which supermarkets and hypermarkets should expose consumers to a specific gondola for these products. The law will still be regulated, but for those with intolerance, the initiative should facilitate the purchase.
Failure of the measure implies penalty, ranging between $ 500 and $ 5,000. The value can be folded in case of recurrence. And the monitoring will be done by the Secretariat of Urban Activities.

According to nutritionist Ludmila Riane, lactose intolerance is not a disease, but you have to be careful. "The person who has the intolerance, she does not produce an enzyme that is responsible for the digestion of lactose, which is the milk sugar. Then the person can't do the digestion, causing a serious of symptoms very unpleasant for the patient, "he said.
Aline student had to learn to identify the lactose-free products to be able to get along with intolerance and stated that a placeholder for that will make life easier for those who have the problem.
