Canadas Food Guide

According to the latest Healthy Eating guidance in Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide, fortified soy beverages like Silk soy beverage can be an alternative to dairy milk every day. Here's what Health Canada has to say:

"Did you know that milk and alternatives contain important nutrients that are good for your bones? Having milk or fortified soy beverages every day provides the nutrients that you need for healthy bones and optimal health."
- Canada's Food Guide

Canada's Food Guide also explains that when selecting a non-dairy milk alternative, remember to follow the Food Guide's recommendation and choose beverages that are fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Also keep in mind that while other vegetable-based milks such as almond or rice milk may contain calcium and vitamin D, they do not contain the level of protein found in fortified soy beverage, which are comparable to the amount of protein in dairy milk.

Our Organic Commitment

As part of our commitment to the environment, we source many of our ingredients organically. Organic agriculture helps support a healthy environment by eliminating the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers and biotechnology. Canada currently has a draft organic standard expected to be finalized in 2009. We look forward to helping our consumers stay current on the latest developments in Canadian organic regulations.

Responsible Sourcing

We make every effort to choose responsibly when sourcing our ingredients. In addition to using organic soybeans and sweeteners for many of our products, we make our Silk for Coffee soy beverage with palm oil from a trusted source. Our supplier has pioneered responsible palm oil production, and is an active participant in the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
