Status: Allowed
Kefir is classified as well tolerated for Fructose Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Dairy products contain calcium, protein and – depending on the product – varying amounts of lactose and fat, which can be relevant for certain conditions. With fructose malabsorption, both the absolute fructose content and the ratio of fructose to glucose are assessed, as the small intestine's capacity to absorb free fructose is reduced. The reasoning given is: usually suitable without fruit additives. The assessment is based on experience-based assessments and expert consensus.
