Hi -

In the UK, for bread or for any other products, I'd be inclined to:

- Make it yourself if it's reasonable to do so.  A bread machine is a good
investment, as is an ice-cream maker for sorbets.
- Look for kosher-marked products.  (My web page, listed below, gives some
information about kosher markings.)  PAREVE products may contain to milk or
milk-derived products.  (Different hechshers, aka kosher certifiers, have
differing standards of strictness.  Your local Jewish synagogue should be able
to give you further information about kosher foods in your area.)
- Eat sourdough bread.  The recipe doesn't call for milk.  I've never (in the
US, where I live) encountered a sourdough that contained milk products.

DOn't hesitate to phone or send mail to manufacturers.  Many will be happy to
tell you which foods are safe to eat.

Good luck!
