BNI™ 026.77s: Low-fat soymilk (average)

dietBNI™ 26.77s: Low-fat soymilk (average), AUS / NZ, 2011.

This is the nutritional value of low-fat soymilk (ie, with a fat content of about 1.7g per 100ml) in New Zealand. Below is an analysis of the average aggregated nutritional value of a sample of 10 brands and sub-brands of low-fat soymilk, mostly imported from Australia. The sample was collated as part of a research on the nutritional composition of milk and milk alternatives in New Zealand. This nutritional profile can be summarised as being, mainly, biased towards excess of sugar, adequate in fat and fiber, low in saturated fat, high in protein and sodium, and low in carbohydrate. It also provides about 119mg of calcium per 100ml.

This nutritional value may be more representative of those who change brands often, as well as of the population, in general. However, it is less representative of the universe of brands on offer and of those consumers who prefer a particular brand of low-fat soymilk, for which a prototypical nutritional value may be more relevant (see foodBNI).
