Are Carnation Breakfast Essentials® products suitable for people with lactose intolerance?
Our Ready to Drink products are suitable for lactose intolerance but not for individuals with galactosemia. Our Powder products contain nonfat milk (which is a natural source of lactose), and therefore are not suitable for people with lactose intolerance.

Our products do not contain any added caffeine. However, the chocolate flavored products contain a small amount of naturally occurring caffeine contributed by the cocoa (< 5 mg per serving).
Can I heat Carnation Breakfast Essentials® products?
Yes, our Ready to Drink beverages can be heated, provided you pour the beverage into a microwaveable glass or cup prior to heating. Our Powder Drink Mixes can also be heated. Heat 1 cup of milk in a microwave safe mug for 1½ minutes or until hot. Stir in one packet or serving of the Powder. Be sure to check the temperature of the product before consuming or offering it to a child.
Can I freeze Carnation Breakfast Essentials® Ready to Drink products?
Our Ready to Drink products are not designed to be frozen. However, they can be frozen if you prefer a slushy or ice cream consistency. In that case, pour the drink in a clean, sealed container prior to freezing, and freeze for approximately 60-90 minutes. Consume the frozen product. We do not recommend freezing Carnation Breakfast Essentials® drinks and then thawing them.
Am I required to refrigerate Carnation Breakfast Essentials® bottles before drinking?
It is best to chill all Ready to Drink products before consuming. However, refrigeration is not required. Once opened, unused portions should be tightly covered, refrigerated and used within 24 hours.
Are Carnation Breakfast Essentials® products WIC eligible?

Our Ready to Drink products are WIC* eligible in most states. Ask your healthcare provider or local WIC representative if your child can benefit from the nutrition in Carnation Breakfast Essentials®. Our Powder products are not WIC* eligible.
