A step forward for inclusive hospitality
How many times has a lactose-intolerant customer asked the restaurant: “Can I eat this dish?” And how many times has the answer been an uncertain “I think so”?
In 2025, this scene belongs to the past. At SIGEP in Rimini, the leading foodservice trade show, Nutras presented Lactosolution for the Horeca world, the first single-dose dietary supplement against lactose intolerance designed for the restaurant industry.
An innovation that redefines the customer experience for thousands of intolerant individuals in Italy and around the world, offering safety, wellness, and inclusivity at the table.
Lactose intolerance in restaurants: an underestimated problem
Lactose intolerance affects approximately 50% of Italians according to recent data from AILI. It is a condition that, while not dangerous, heavily impacts people's social and dietary lives.
For restaurateurs, it means:
- Limiting the menu or having to modify it upon request
- Exposing themselves to the risk of complaints regarding adverse reactions
- Losing customers for fear of contamination
But is it really necessary to give up a dessert with cream or a gratin dish for fear of lactose? With Lactosolution, the answer is finally no.
Nutras with Lactosolution at SIGEP: a pioneering debut
In a sector like the Horeca foodservice industry, where innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction are at the center, Nutras stood out at SIGEP as the first company to have introduced a supplement designed for the needs of restaurateurs.
What we presented:
- Professional single-dose dispenser: hygienic, practical, elegant.
- Lactosolution 15000 FCC ALU tablets, capable of digesting high quantities of lactose even in complex meals.
- Compact packaging suitable for the counter, easily accessible to both staff and customers.
The goal?
To transform every restaurant, pizzeria, pastry shop, or bar into an inclusive place, where intolerance no longer limits choice.
Why it is the first supplement in the Horeca world
Most supplements against lactose intolerance are designed for personal use. Lactosolution, on the other hand, has rethought the entire consumption model, bringing the product directly into the establishments.
Here is what makes it unique:
- First professional format for the Horeca channel
- Use without a prescription: the user can take it directly before the meal
- Scientific reliability: each tablet contains a high dose of lactase enzyme (15000 FCC ALU), compliant with European regulations
- Zero compromises on taste: the customer can choose any dish
A simple but revolutionary idea: making digestive wellness available to everyone, right where it is needed most.
How does Lactosolution work?
Lactosolution contains lactase enzyme, which acts directly in the small intestine by breaking down lactose into simpler, easily digestible sugars.
This allows even intolerant people to consume foods containing lactose without symptoms such as bloating, cramps, or diarrhea.
Clinical studies published in Alimentary Pharmacology & Therapeutics demonstrate that taking lactase significantly improves lactose tolerance, especially when dosed correctly according to the meal.
Our professional format guarantees:
- Safe and controlled dosage
- Convenience for staff
- Peace of mind for the customer
The benefits for restaurants and food professionals
✓ Satisfy new customer segments
Those who are intolerant often avoid eating out for fear. By offering Lactosolution, the establishment becomes inclusive and reassuring.
✓ Retain customers
A small gesture like offering a tablet before dessert can make the difference: positive experience = guaranteed return.
✓ No changes to the menu
The restaurant will not have to remove cheese, milk, or cream from its dishes: it is the customer who decides whether to take the supplement.
✓ Increase in revenue
Fewer sacrifices, more consumption. Adding a dessert or a gratin dish can increase the average check by 15–20%.
An innovation that speaks of the future (and health)
In the post-pandemic context, the foodservice industry has understood more than ever the value of offering personalized, safe, and wellness-oriented solutions.
Lactosolution Horeca is a concrete answer to a real need, with enormous potential for scalability even abroad.
Already in the first few days of SIGEP, we received interest from:
- Restaurant chains
- Artisan pastry shops
- Hotels and resorts
- Horeca distributors
Furthermore, we have concluded collaborations with Sorbillo, Rossopomodoro, Pescaria, and many others.
