I was so happy when I saw at my local Winn-Dixie that they had a yogurt that was soy, dairy free and "vegan". Since my son loves creamy foods and now that he can't have them I picked up a set and couldn't wait to give it to him.
O' Soy is from Stonyfield company.
He loved it. I was happy, then he started having a bad reaction to it. I called the company number on their website which said they were open M-F 8-6pm, to see if there was any possibility of cross contamination since they make a lot of whole milk yogurts as well.
The phone's computer said that no one was their due to them all being in training. So I wrote an email and waited I received an email about 4 hours later. This is what I received, remember I wanted to know about cross contamination.
Hello,
Thanks for reaching out with your question. Our O'Soy organic soy yogurt is
a lactose-free, non-dairy source of calcium and protein. It's great for
those who want a delicious way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of soy,
and one 6-oz serving of O’Soy provides 7g of soy protein. Additionally,
we're happy to say that O'Soy is certified vegan.
We hope this is helpful, please don’t hesitate to give us a shout if you
have any other questions. Thanks again for getting in touch.
Sincerely,
The folks at Stonyfield
Please note that this is what it says on the package of yogurt, hence why I purchased it to begin with. So I tried again.
Thank you for telling me what your package says, but as I originally asked I wanted to know about the possibility of cross contamination with dairy products.
I wrote that email a few days ago. Considering that they responded the 1st time only 4 hours later and it was more then 4 hours till 5pm on a Thursday, and it is now Saturday. I take this as they do not want to answer in fear of ruining their "Vegan" status.
*Please note that the last statement is only my opinion and is not in anyway related to the company.*
So please be careful if you or your child is really allergic to dairy, in my own opinion I would not chance this product.
