Many people (myself included), are allergic to the proteins in milk, but not the sugars. Lactose is a milk sugar, and doesn't cause me any problems whatsoever. I have found many commercial food products which label themselves 'non-dairy' when in fact they are only referring to lactose, and they indeed DO have milk protein in it (usually in the form of casein or caseinate)...
