I and another parent of a dairy allergic child have recently called two different bread manufacturers in our area (Missouri). Both reported to us that their bread uses sodium stearyl lactylate, which is animal derived, rather than dairy derived. We still have to read labels, but Colonial and Butternut breads have turned out to be safe (basic sandwich loaves and buns). Different locals may use different ingredients, but we have found the companies to be very cooperative and willing to share information regarding allergens.
