Arla Foods Bangladesh Launches DANO Lacto Reduced to Make Milk Easier to Digest
[Dhaka, Bangladesh | April 29, 2026] — Arla Foods Bangladesh today announced the launch of DANO Lacto Reduced Filled Milk Powder, a new product developed to address a common yet often overlooked challenge of difficulty in digesting milk due to lactose intolerance faced by many consumers.
The launch event was held at the Arla Foods Bangladesh Limited head office premises attended by Christian Brix Møller, Denmark's Ambassador to Bangladesh, and Nuria Lopez, Chairperson of European Union Chamber of Commerce in Bangladesh.
DANO Lacto Reduced is positioned as the first lactose‑reduced filled milk powder in Bangladesh, marking a new category in the local dairy market. The launch reinforces Arla’s commitment to bringing globally proven dairy innovation adapted to local dietary realities, rather than one‑size‑fits‑all solutions.
Milk and dairy products are key sources of essential nutrients, yet many people experience digestive discomfort due to lactose intolerance. This leads them to reduce or avoid milk and miss out on its nutritional benefits. DANO Lacto Reduced addresses this challenge by lowering lactose content from around 36% to just 3% through adding lactase enzymes to support easier digestion while retaining the essential nutrients of milk.
Speaking at the launch event, Laurent Ponty, Managing Director of Arla Foods Bangladesh said, “At Arla, innovation starts with societal needs. DANO Lacto Reduced addresses digestive challenges while retaining essential nutrition. It reflects our commitment to inclusive and accessible dairy nutrition in Bangladesh.”
Christian Brix Møller, Ambassador of Denmark to Bangladesh stated, “Denmark and Bangladesh share a strong and long standing partnership built on trade, development, and shared values. Arla Foods represent the Danish commitment to quality, responsibility, and innovation in action. Initiatives such as this product launch demonstrate how Danish expertise contributes positively to nutrition and sustainable development in Bangladesh.”
The product has been designed for wide household use, including children above five years, adults, and the elderly, anyone who experiences discomfort after consuming regular milk. DANO Lacto Reduced enables consumers to return to milk consumption with confidence, supporting balanced nutrition for the whole family.
With this launch, Arla Foods Bangladesh continues its long‑standing mission to deliver safe, accessible, and consumer‑centric dairy nutrition, ensuring that milk’s benefits can be enjoyed by more people, comfortably and affordably.
