Galactosemia is a genetic metabolic disorder typically diagnosed at infancy. Individuals with this condition are unable to metabolize galactose, which is one of the two molecules that make up lactose or "milk sugar." These individuals must therefore eliminate all lactose from their diets. Nestlé Health Science products that are labeled as "suitable for lactose intolerance" may contain some residual lactose and therefore would not be appropriate for individuals with galactosemia.
