What You Should Know

You'd find this 32 fl oz carton in the dairy or plant-milk aisle (or refrigerated milk section) as a grab-and-go unsweetened vanilla option for coffee, cereal, or smoothies. It reads as a health-forward, convenient choice—low in calories and dairy-free—but its smooth mouthfeel and stability come from added emulsifiers, thickeners, and flavorings, which are hallmarks of industrial processing.
