About our soy yogurt
Stonyfield O’Soy soy yogurt, made from organic soymilk, is the answer for those looking for a lactose-free, non-dairy source of calcium and protein; and for people who want a delicious way to enjoy the nutritional benefits of soy.
Research has shown that soy can:
- lower cholesterol and other blood fats, to modestly decrease the risk of heart disease;
- help regulate blood sugar levels and kidney function, which helps to control diabetes and kidney disease;
- contribute nutrients to the diet including protein, calcium, magnesium, iron, and selenium.
Since July 2008, the messages printed on our O’Soy cups have included the following allergen statement: “CONTAINS SOY AND MILK (OUR LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES ARE MILK BASED).” We’d like to explain what this means. While we don’t add any milk to O’Soy, the reason for the “CONTAINS…MILK” statement is that the cultures we use in O’Soy are grown in milk by our culture supplier. The overall milk content of O’Soy is extremely low, and it’s in the form of milk protein. For people highly allergic to dairy, we don’t recommend O’Soy. If you have questions about eating O’Soy, please consult your physician. We can still assure you that O’Soy is lactose free and that those who are only lactose intolerant, and not allergic to milk, can safely enjoy O’Soy.
