What is a credit inquiry? An inquiry is a notation on your credit report that someone has requested your credit file. Two types of inquiries may appear on a credit report -- hard inquiries that can impact your credit score and soft inquiries that don't. When you pull your credit report, you can see both hard and soft pulls. Creditors can only view hard inquiries.
Casein is the principal protein found in fresh cowâs milk and is often used in many processed foods, including cheese products, infant formula, and coffee creamer. The casein salts, usually labeled caseinates, are water soluble and found in many other processed food products.
Lactose is the sugar in milk and casein is the protein. Casein-free foods may still contain lactose. An individual with a milk allergy who would react to casein must learn to read labels on nearly everything. The word non-dairy does not mean the product is a casein-free food. Other terms listed on a label that indicate it contains casein may be milk proteins, milk solids, caseinates, fortified proteins, and curd. Finding casein-free foods to incorporate into the diet takes some research and learning.
