The range of cheeses analysed for their lactose and galactose content to verify their suitability for a low galactose diet in galactosaemia continue to expand. No assumptions should be made about the suitability of any cheese for galactosaemia until reputable and repeated analysis has been conducted. Aim: To analyse the lactose content of a range of Mini Babybel cheeses. Methods: The lactose content of 10 samples of Mini Babybel (five Mini Babybel Original and five Mini Babybel Emmental) was analysed by Leatherhead Food international Laboratory. Results: The lactose content of Mini Babybel Original varied between <2 mg to 12 mg 100g−1 and Mini Babybel Emmental was between 6 and 7 mg 100g−1. Conclusions: The lactose content of Mini Babybel Original and five Mini Babybel Emmental is too high to render them suitable for the treatment of galactosaemia.
