Your Almond Milk is Probably (Definitely) Fake
We all know that almond milk contains water, but did you have any idea that there’s only 2 percent almonds in an entire jug of the nutty stuff? A recent class action suit against Blue Diamond Growers claims that the brand is falsely advertising the contents in Almond Breeze, its dairy-free milk. While Blue Diamond doesn’t list what percentage of the almond milk is made from almonds in the United States, the U.K. Almond Breeze website reveals that it’s just 2 percent. So what exactly is in the bottle? The plaintiffs, Tracy Albert and Dimitrios Malaxianis, argue that it’s mostly water, sugar, carrageenan (a polysaccharide used for thickening), and sunflower lecithin (an emulsifier). The lawsuit was filed in New York on July 14, and though it doesn’t specify what percentage of almonds would be deemed acceptable for purchase, it does state that an extensive review of almond milk recipes require “one part almonds to three or four parts water, amounting to 25 to 33 percent almonds.”
