It's around half the carbs as normal milk, taste wise it's absolutely fine.

Semi-Skimmed Milk is 4.8g/100ml so a 200ml serving would be 9.6g, Skimmed Milk is 5g/100ml so 200ml would be 10g.
Full-Fat Milk is slightly lower than the other two at 4.7g/100ml (9.4g for a 200ml serving).

A different make perhaps? I just took the numbers off Tesco.com as an example.
EDIT Oh just realised you've quoted normal milk as a comparison! Sorry my mistake

The mistake is all mine @Rachox , realise now that you were mentioning the full-range of Arla Lacto-Free Milk. Apologises.

No worries! I just stick to unsweetened almond milk, no carbs at all to worry about!

Really don't like almond milk at all @Rachox , suppose like a lot of foods it's an acquired taste.

I only like the roasted version and I mix it with coffee or sugar free Crusha milk shake mix. It goes especially well with the banana or vanilla

That is how I came to taste it, a neighbour made me a coffee as I was doing some gardening for them, just couldn't stand the taste at all.
But as said earlier, anyone looking to reduce their carb intake should have a go at buying the lacto-free milk, taste wise it's fine and no difference to normal milk.

Thanks for the slap @bulkbiker ... I feel less hysterical now!
Seriously, that's good to know.
I've honestly never thought of the LF stuff. (Let alone tried it.)
This is what I thought happened with the process?
Or at least the sugar was brewed to alcahol...

Its a small diff but when you're trying to be very low carb every little bit helps.. Also I have quite a few cups of tea every day.
