What You Should Know

You'd spot this 365 Unsweetened Almond Beverage on the refrigerated plant-milk or dairy-alternatives shelf, picked up by shoppers wanting a low-calorie, unsweetened milk swap for cereal, coffee, or cooking. It reads as a health-forward, practical choice — familiar and understated rather than indulgent. The ingredient list and additives (lecithin, gellan gum, dipotassium phosphate, plus added minerals and vitamins) point to industrial processing to ensure smooth texture, stability and fortification, consistent with an ultra-processed product.
