Living in Finland in the EU, I am very confused as to why none of the vegan milk products contain added calcium. Children need a certain amount of calcium which they easily get through cows milk. But not so through vegan milk, because it does not naturally contain calcium.
Are there any laws that forbid adding calcium in your country? Is there any other reason as to why oat and soy based milk products don’t get added calcium?
In my EU country, most do contain calcium, as well as vitamin D and sometimes B12 and iode .
Although I have to say I get almost if not all of my calcium from water, vegetables and tofu as I rarely drink any plant based milk.
Not exactly.
In Germany, I think most plank milk brands are also Bio (organic) for some reason. And you can’t label something as bio in Germany if it contains additives, nd this includes supplements. And because of that, most plant milks sold do not contains added calcium, b12 or anything.
