Question

Flemming is on a new diet that requires him to avoid all dairy products and byproducts. This will be a big change for him, so his doctor informs him about foods he might not realize often contain dairy products. These include the following: bread, granola, deli meat, dry breakfast cereal, and energy bars. Which items from Flemming's standard diet will still be safe to eat?

a. puffed rice cereal
b. breaded chicken parmesan
c. sliced turkey sandwich
d. yogurt made from coconut milk

Answer 1

From the options provided for Flemming's diet, only puffed rice cereal and yogurt made from coconut milk are clearly safe to eat. He can also consume a sliced turkey sandwich if the bread is dairy-free and no dairy-containing spreads are used. For a dish like breaded chicken parmesan, Flemming would need to use dairy-free ingredients. The correct options are a,b,c,d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Flemming is on a new diet that requires the avoidance of all dairy products and byproducts. The foods from his standard diet that would still be safe to eat, considering dairy-free alternatives, include:

• Puffed rice cereal - Traditional puffed rice cereal is typically dairy-free and safe for a dairy-free diet.
• Breaded chicken parmesan - This would generally not be safe as it usually contains cheese and bread that could have dairy, but if made with dairy-free ingredients, it could be considered.
• Sliced turkey sandwich - As long as the bread used is dairy-free and no dairy-containing spreads are used, this would be safe.
• Yogurt made from coconut milk - Coconut milk yogurt is a dairy-free alternative that would be acceptable in a dairy-free diet.

It's crucial for Flemming to check labels and be aware of potential dairy in products like bread and to opt for alternatives like dairy-free milks and dairy-free cheese if wanting to include items that traditionally contain dairy. The correct options are a,b,c,d.
