It was the kickstart we needed to experiment with all kinds of plant-based foods. Silk first crossed the border back in So much so that Canada has one of the highest numbers of households consuming plant- based beverages in the world. We opened our doors to almonds and we never looked back! With carefully roasted almonds ground into an oh-so-smooth almond butter, we created our newest Silk staple. The Silk family keeps on growing! We expand our superstar plant-based roster with two delicious additions: For Coffee and our range of coconut-based beverages.
Additional milestones for the brand came in , when it expanded outside of the beverage space with the introduction of Silk soy-based yogurt alternatives, and in , when it began a packaging revitalization project across its whole product line. The focus on innovation has only strengthened in more recent years. That same year, Silk expanded the Oat Yeah line beyond beverages. First came a lineup of single-serve yogurt alternatives. Next came the debut of Oat Yeah creamers. The latest addition to the Oat Yeah line, meanwhile, is an oatmilk beverage with zero grams of sugar.
According to Silk, the coffee is grown by UTZ-certified farmers. UTZ is a label and program for sustainable farming. Silk products can be found in supermarkets, club stores and c-stores across the nation; via e-commerce and foodservice channels; and almost 20 countries, including the United States. Moreover, Silk holds the leader position in many U.
Variety is important, of course, but taste is critical to winning repeat purchases. The new product development process begins with inspiration, Borrelli explains. In addition to variety and taste, Silk is committed to making good on its promise to make the world a healthier place, Borrelli says. An international executive search firm is reviewing external candidates for a new chief executive officer since Emmanuel Faber, the former CEO, left the company in March.

It is a byproduct of gasoline refining and a neurotoxin. Soybeans used in Silk's Light and Heart Health soymilk are immersed in this neurotoxic petrochemical to make soy flour, which is listed as the main ingredient in these Silk products. Hexane is classified as a "hazardous air pollutant" by the Environmental Protection Agency and emissions are regulated for their contribution to air pollution. Food processors are the country's major hexane emitters.
When The Cornucopia Institute sent samples of hexane-extracted soy flour to an independent lab for residue testing, residues as high as 21 parts per million were found.
The effects on consumer health of repeated and long-term consumption of hexane-extracted soy ingredients have not been thoroughly studied. An extraction process that does not involve hexane is available, but using hexane is cheaper for the processor.
Silk's creamers and Silk Plus Omega-3 DHA contain other minor hexane-extracted ingredients-soy lecithin and algal oil, respectively.
This is the same additive, found in infant formula extracted from algae and soil fungus , that has been linked to severe adverse reactions in infants. Cornucopia has obtained adverse reaction reports from the FDA verifying this unfortunate health side-effect. The FDA has never tested the safety of Life's DHA, relying instead on safety data supplied by the same corporation that has a financial interest in selling and placing these additives in foods.
