BNI™ 064.29s: Flavored low-fat soymilk (average)

dietBNI™ 64.29s: Flavored low-fat soymilk (average), AUS / NZ, 2011.

This is the nutritional value of flavored low-fat soymilk (ie, with a fat content of about 1.7g per 100ml, but also loaded up with sugar to about 5g per 100ml). Below is an analysis of the average aggregated nutritional value of a sample of 4 brands and sub-brands of flavored 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 protein, carbohydrate and fat, low in saturated fat, high in sodium, and low in fiber. It also provides about 120mg 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 flavored low-fat soymilk, for which a prototypical nutritional value may be more relevant (see foodBNI).
