Silk Soymilk Recall Update

by Sally Andersen

I have not forgotten about Silk Soymilk being pulled from shelves because some products contained cow’s milk proteins. silk_soy_milk_chocolate.jpg

I have contacted the company three times now asking for an explanation, especially since their Web site does not provide an ingredients list for any products. Once, I received a canned response thanking me for my interest in Silk. The other two times have yet to receive a response.

However, Silk has added a page to their site titled “Silk Is Soy” which is about the recall. Here is their statement:

WhiteWave Foods Company is voluntarily recalling 11-ounce plastic single serve bottles of Silk Soymilk Chocolate Flavor because it may contain undeclared milk protein.

Is anyone else starting to wonder why companies don’t explain recalls? I’d like to know how such a dump “oops” like putting milk in a vegan staple, and leaving it off of the ingredients list, happens. And why did they not ‘fess up to it until after Stop & Shop offered consumer refunds?

The product shown here is the one being recalled. Click on it to read more about the Silk recall.
