I was unhappy to discover yesterday that you are making O’Soy yogurt with milk cultures. I am a vegan and always loved your yogurt. You didn’t used to have milk based soy cultures in your O’Soy yogurt, at least not on the label. The reason I discovered this is because my friend is very allergic to milk and she had a reaction to your O’Soy yogurt.

This just happened to me, I bought it to try for my kids who love yogurt thinking it was vegan and was disgusted to find out differently. I’m calling tomorrow. They are very misleading with their label, just another lesson in reading the ingredients more carefully. I’ll just stick to coconut yogurt from now on.

I’m sorry I was mean, Ryan.
I get so tired of having to read labels for salt and goodness knows what othe nasty things – what about words over nine letters long and with an ‘x’ – sure to be something revolting.
Soy used to be my main source of protein till I developed an allergy to American soy – not Australian. After about six years I’ve just started eating it again – yum!

Aussiebach – Um… the reason I discovered that there’s milk in O’Soy is because I read the label. So, I don’t understand your implication about vegans not reading labels. That was kind of the point of the post.

O’Soy does not market itself as a milk product. It markets itself as a soy yogurt, which — from every other manufacturer — is vegan.

I like soy and I enjoy milk. Why would it arouse so much strange email and such horrible language to complain about a yummy product like O’Soy? The purpose of a soy product in a milk product is to enjoy – using intelligence to read labels is not an option for vegans, apparently!
I use my teeth for the purpose they were put in my mouth, by the way, to rip meat off the bones!!!
Cook your own vegetable burgers, that’s what I do.

I noticed the exact same thing and wondered why i had never noticed it before. I feel duped as well. I will call them and let them know how deceptive this product is.

.. Very disappointing. I just noticed this too and decided to look it up… I was trying to go Vegan for the past three days; I guess that’s all gone to waste. Did no one tell this company that False Advertising is illegal? There’s even milk in salad croûtons. I didn’t learn that until after grabbing, buying and bringing them home.

If you want to be Vegan, Tennessee is clearly not the place to do it. There’s hardly a big enough selection for veggies, even in walmart. As for veggie burgers, 2 brands, and both overly expensive.

Also, I got a little scared when Hamlet mentioned the Gardenburgers, because that’s the brand I bought, and am rather fond of compaired to BOCA… But I didn’t find any animal products in the ingredients list…?

[...] vegan, they have their priorities straight about what this creamy concoction should be, unlike some manufacturers who think it’s okay to use milk-based [...]

I don’t care for the flavor of O’Soy’s peach flavored soy yogurt so I decided today to search to see if they make any other flavors. That’s when I saw this blog topic in my search results. I’m shocked…but I didn’t think to read the label either. My little cup does read “CONTAINS SOY AND MILK (OUR LIVE ACTIVE CULTURES ARE MILK BASED.)” so I think I’ll try the Nancy’s brand as it boasts 100% vegan ingredients. I looked them up at: http://www.nancysyogurt.com/dealers/index.php and they’re sold at Hannaford’s in the Northeast at least.

Damn I’ll just stick to veggies and fruits and nuts then I found out stupid companies were placing gelatin in yogurts and jello >:(

Has anyone noticed that the O’Soy vanilla tastes like wet dog? Dog run-off is most certainly an animal product.

I agree with Ryan. I was disappointed to find cows milk in the soy yogurt, especially now that I’ve found out about pus in cows milk(I’ve gone dairyless). I think it’s a shame and an all out lie. Needless to say, I won’t be buying your product anymore and I’m telling the entire church population who has just started using your soy products. We’ve had an impact on the health food industry in our town in just a few weeks. I’m hoping to do the same with this product. Besides, this is not the tasiest or best textured yogurt and the calorie count is more than I expected.

I agree with Ryan. Regardless if you are vegan or not,(which i happen to be)it is unethical and wrong to advertise to be milk free and have a label saying contains milk; they deserve a lawsuit in my opinion. I have never eaten the product and now never will. I suppose I will stick with my wholesoy yogurt.

If it contains milk to produce cultures that’s fine with me.

Yeah, but it’s not with others.

For me, I need to reduce animal based fat, so this is a perfect food.

Never mind that there are far better foods, but a vegan’s so-called “extremist dietary regimen” gets rid of those animal fats altogether.
