Finally some answers from Silk

Several months ago I wrote a post about the change in distributors for Silk Soy Milk and that they where now processing Almond Milk in the same facility and on the same equipment as both Dairy and Soy Milk. You can read that post here. After several attempts to get straight answers from the company regarding cross contamination issues I admit, I finally gave up. Since then we have stopped using the Silk brand in our house out of fear of cross contamination and my sons nut allergy.

I am now relieved to hear that Silk Brand Soy Milk now carries a nut allergy warning on the label. You can read more about this on The Nut-Free Mom's Blog.

  2. Sorry to hear you had problems with our customer service! I can assure you that while we do produce soy and almondmilk in some of the same facilities, we have extensive cleaning and testing protocols in place at our production facilities to detect and prevent any kind of nut cross contamination. Feel free to send me an email if you ever have questions!
