The best plant-based milks according to Profeco

Until a few years ago, the offer of plant-based milks was not very extensive. When walking through the aisles of stores and supermarkets, you could find liquid or powdered soy milk and coconut milk. However, in recent years, almond, coconut, rice, and oat milk have become popular all over the world, and Mexico is no exception.  For the benefit of all of us who consume plant-based milks, Profeco conducted a quality study to determine which plant-based drinks are the best. So that you don't have to read the study, we at kiwilimón summarize what the highest authority on quality says.  You can also read: 3 ways to make plant-based milk What are the best plant-based drinks?According to the quality study conducted by Profeco, some of the best plant-based drinks are the following: GÜD - Organic soy drink Profeco indicates that this drink contains 12% soy, which is 2% above the standard. Furthermore, it meets the net content, consumer information, and is fortified with vitamins.  SILK - Soy-flavored drink with 7% soy As it is a flavored drink, the soy content must be less than 10%, so it meets the standards.
