Plastic bottle change: a reply – I have seen that some people are complaining about the plastic bottles. I just want to address this by saying that yes, we need to reduce our plastic usage, and yes this would generally be seen as a step in the wrong direction. But Tetra packs - which basically all long life milk comes in, are actually three or more layers of different… Read more
components (laminated paper, aluminised plastic foil, thin LDPE soft plastic inner, hard polypropylene lid) make it really difficult to actually recycle. It is actually considered a contaminant. Some councils will recycle it and just accept that it increases the contanimanion content, others are trying to reduce their contanimanion rate to increase quality of their end recycled product.
I'd actually go for the plastic bottle over tetra-pak. Glass would be the best, but it's heavy and increases shipping costs and emissions. It's a tricky one!
As for this product, I find it pretty good for a person who doesn't actually like the taste of soy that much. I'm glad they have reduced the additives.
Vitasoy Soy Milky – The taste is great, not like other soy milk. Healthy, with lots of calcium. Best of all, no cow or calf has suffered in the making of it, fantastic! Show details
Good Ingredients – One of the few soy milks that do not add oil and other fillers, and uses organic whole soy beans. Great tasting too. Show details
Great tasting and healthy – Vitasoy lite is great tasting, terrific on Weetbix in the morning, I find better than cow's milk of any %fat, very settling for digestion.. I was concerned about mentions on this board about additive E407, which I did used to see listed, but no more. It looks like Vitasoy has responded to the concerns and removed?

Why plastic bottles! – I have used Vitasoy calci-plus for years now and though I realize the cartons must also contain plastic I'm sure the bottles contain more, so why convert to them? I may have to buy something else now as the long life alternative does not last as long! Show details
New plastic bottle – When everybody is trying to eliminate plastic you change the carton container to a plastic bottle. You have done the wrong thing. I will never buy your products again. Do you know about CLIMATE CHANGE? Show details
Vitasoy – The best quality on the market and very well priced. This company knows what it is doing. I have been purchasing their products for years now because I know they don skimp on quality. Show details
Unlike previous Vitasoy soy milk products this product is not made from Whole Organic Soybeans – Vitasoy Soy Milky Lite Soy has been suggested as an alternative to the now discontinued Vitasoy Reduced Fat Soy Milk that I have been using for 10 or so years. But unlike their now discontinued product Vitasoy Soy Milky Lite is not made from Whole Organic Soybeans something that was a plus for me and an important reason why I chose Vitasoy
There is a tasteless soymilk – Growing up I've used to drink this brand name in breakfast since I was a child in Hong Kong, unfortunately, the soymilk here is tasteless even with the same name. I prefer to buy the other brand names that carry in the grocery stores there in China town it is more expensive but worth the price.
Best Taste – I have tried all the soy milks and Vitasoy Soy Milky Lite is by far the Best and the tastiest. It is so popular that it is often almost sold out at my Woolworths supermarket. No other soy milk has the low carbs and tastes this good.
Almond Milk unsweetened – Love the taste of this after comparing to other brands and after much back and forwarding with the company this product does not contain carrageenan Also this is one of the very few that doesn’t curdle in your coffee.
My kids love it! – I am lactose intolerant but my kids are not. So I had to teach them to still drink milk, I usually Vitasoy to set an example and I find them it very light. My kids also love the taste so I am not worried that it would cause them any tummy ache. Plant milk and cow's milk has no difference at all!
Good alternative to light A2 milk – Also more creamy, same price .. Good with cereal also Rolled oats (porridge)& will stick with it for a longer trial!.will recommend .

Best tasting soy milk, problem with the carton – I'm pretty intolerant to dairy products so I've used this for a long time and really like it for all uses. The current batch is a bit of a problem. When I succeed in twisting the top off a new carton, it sometimes comes loose or comes right off. I can hear a tearing sound and know I have a problem. So now I open a new carton before I discard the… Read more · 1
old one, and funnel it into the old one if necessary.
I've just written to them about it - maybe I'll get a reply.
FOOTNOTE: Since I posted this I've had a call from Vitasoy for more information, and an assurance they will send me a supermarket gift card as compensation.
Loved it until I realized it has carageenan – I'm usually cautious about using anything that has numbers in the ingredients, but somehow I managed to miss them when I decided this was my new favourite. Back to the drawing board with find an alternative.
Love my soy milk! – I recently came of some medication after a year of being on it to find that I couldn't drink cows milk anymore as I'd become intolerant to the cows milk protein. I was fairly content drinking black tea and coffee but craved the creaminess back in my coffee so one day went and purchased a soy milk cappuccino and since then I've converted! I tried… Read more
the vitasoy regular soy milky purely because it was on special at Coles and I haven't turned back! I can't choose if I like the vitasoy original milk or the regular soy milky better so I always keep both in the cupboard and alternate lol seriously tho the best thing I ever did was purchase that litre of UHT soy that day. I can now drink milk in my coffee again without spending 2 days in agony with severe belly pain! I love drinking it straight from the carton too as it doesn't have an overly powerful soy taste, just a very mild one which I actually love! I'm now even making soy berry smoothies in the morning too! Thank you vitasoy for the amazing product! Everything! The taste, the creaminess, the no cholesterol and high in b2&b12 Nothing! Some people say it's too expensive but for me, I can't put a price on being able to have milk daily with no adverse reaction to my belly and health
Great soya milk....bad service! – This milk is SO tasty, but unfortunately, their customer service department is almost non-existant?! I was having somewhat of an issue with the opening tab, in that it often broke off before fully opening. Tried emailing regarding all this, but never received a reply. Very unfortunate really, and they're actually shooting their self in the… Read more · 1
foot...because I will keep using it, but will not recommend it to any of my friends. Taste Opening tab...customer service!!!!!!!!
LOVE – Was never a fan of soy milk but after some persistent stomach problems my doctor recommended i switch to soy milk.. tried a couple of other brands and then a friend suggested vitasoy. Happy to say that I am now officially converted. Great taste! LOVE!! Thanks so much guys - painless switch to soy now! great flavour
Exciting soy – After struggling with stomach problems my specialist put me on to vitasoy light. I have not looked back. No more stomach issues. My main problem is its mot always available in my area. It is a tad more expensive BUT well worth it Long fridge life. Best and only soy milk to buy The taste. Texture. Nothing Show reply
Vitasoy Milky Lite Soy contains Carrageenan – I've been using Vitasoy Lite for quite a while now since transitioning from dairy milk for health reasons. I find the taste quite close to "normal" milk and is quite yummy. However... I've since found out it contains Carrageenan, which might not be very good for you. See... http://www.notmilk.com/carageenan.html Of particular concern are the… Read more
results of the break down products of this ingredient in the acid of the stomach when digesting this stuff.
I'm a bit worried now, I'll have to find an alternative and go through the all ingredients lists with a fine toothed comb.
It would be nice to find a product without some nasty additive in it, especially when looking for something that is supposedly a healthy alternative for your diet. Nice creamy taste Contains Carrageenan
So creamy, but lite and dairy free!! – This is the best soy milk I have ever tasted, and I want to run around telling everyone to try it! It is seriously amazing. I first had it on my cereal and it was the yummiest bowl of cornflakes I've experienced. It is suitable for cereals, hot drinks, drinking by itself and for cooking with. Long life, 98.5% fat free, reasonably cheap, tasty pancake recipe on carton, creamy texture when consumed on its own, tasty hot or cold
Good taste and good for you – I have always enjoyed soy milk but I prefer to use low fat milk so I was pleased to see this on the market.It does indeed taste milky and pleasant without the unpleasant fatty taste I assocciate with full creamy milk or soy products. It is supposed to be good for people with high cholesterol ,not sure yet but time will tell. Great flavour,healthy
Tastes great – My sister doesn't drink 'normal' milk so our fridge was always stocked with VitaSoy Original or Lite which I inadvertently took a liking to in my cups of tea. She refuses to buy anything but VitaSoy claiming that the others don't taste as good. I can't say I've tasted many others but VitaSoy is thick, creamy and has just the right flavour :)… Read more
will definetely buy this brand in future, despite the cost. Great texture and taste Can be a bit more expensive than the other brands
Delicious creamy taste without any nasties – Vitasoy is a trusted name in the global soy food industry. The Vitasoy Lite Soy Milky beverage is an outstanding member of their product range. The key benefit of this product is it contains only 1.6 grams of sugar per 100 mls. With 3 grams of protein per 100 mls it is comparable to the other soy beverages. Although it contains only 1.5 grams of… Read more · 2
fat is has a thick, creamy taste that is sure to satisfy. It could actually be watered down if you are on a budget or want to further reduce the calorie content.
It contains 300 mg of calcium per 250 ml serving which is over 1/3 of the recommended daily intake of calcium. Unfortunately it does not contain any B vitamins like some of the Santitarium soy milk range.
Vitasoy beverages mix well with coffee and hot beverages and will not cause the drink to curdle like some soy milks can.
The average supermarket price is $2.25 which is around mid range for soy milk in Australia.
The azure blue colour scheme with a scenic green backdrop and berries in the forefront is ambient and visually appealling. smooth, creamy taste, low sugar, high calcium, can be used in any recipe where milk usually goes not the cheapest, no added vitamins

Looking on my pack I can't see any Carageenan? Is it under a different name?
