About this deal

The Vegan Society estimates there are around 542,000 vegans in the UK - three and half times as many as there were in 2006 - nearly half of whom are aged 15-34. Nadine Maggi, MD of Hain Celestial which owns the brand said “We recognise the need for versatility and variety, and we feel confident that our new range of plant-based drinks offers something for everyone’s usage needs.” The launch marked the beginning of a “new phase” for the Hain Celestial brand, said its MD Nadine Maggi. “We recognise the need for versatility and variety, and we feel confident that our new range of plant-based drinks offers something for everyone’s usage needs.” Most supermarkets sell soya milk, either chilled or UHT and you will find it all over the world. It is probably the most famous and cheapest plant-based milk, but in my opinion it is not the nicest, in tea or not in tea. The range comprises Barista StyleSKUs in oat and coconut variants, as well as Organic Soya and Organic Rice

It was recently announced that the company has received investment from Danone, a major processor of dairy products. It is currently unclear what percentage the investment equates to. This means that the activities of Danone are not currently affecting Minor Figures’ Ethiscore, but if more information becomes publicly available this may change.

What is the most environmentally friendly milk? Which milks are fully vegan? Does a milk count as vegan if the company behind the brand also produces dairy or meat products? 

This launched in select Co-op and Nisa stores on July 26, two months after the retailer announced price parity between its plant-based range and conventional counterparts. Read our ultimate showdown of the best oat milks in the UK. New blends in town with Lilk Photo: Lilk Swedish brand Veg of Lund has launched the world’s only potato milk, called DUG. And it’s giving existing plant-based milks a real run for their money, being free from the 14 most common allergens . It’s also super sustainable, being twice as land-efficient as oats and using 56 times less water than almonds. As it is Veganuary this month, I taste-tested a whopping nine different plant-based milks to find the best one for my brew. Another issue is that Californian almond farmers often use a lot of pesticides, which can be harmful to the health of wildlife and people. It has been a particular cause of concern for bee welfare. The use of bees to pollinate California’s almond monocrops is also thought by some to be putting bees under a lot of stress. On the score table we have indicated where a brand only makes one or two types of milk. But some brands make a broader range so the table below lists all the brands in this guide. Type

Nestlé says it plans to disrupt the market and promises this is the closest thing to taste like milk. It chose pea protein as 61% of vegans favoured it in a blind taste test. There are three milks in Nestlé’s Wunda range: unsweetened, original and chocolate. The UK currently only has the unsweetened and original versions.

While the carbon impact of dairy milk results in about 2.2 kg of CO2 per litre, the impact of plant milk is only about 0.6-0.9 kg per litre. The production of dairy milk also requires far more land, using about 2.2 m2 per litre produced, while plant milks use between 0.3 m2 and 0.5 m2. Our article comparing the climate impact of plant and dairy milk has more information. The UK’s first-to-market nut milk, which debuted at Sainsbury’s briefly last year, is by Nooj, which makes almond and cashew nut pastes. The brand tells you how much water to add to get the consistency you’re looking for, whether that’s skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole milk, or even cream. Another of Danone’s major ventures is bottled water, also fraught with ethical issues. In 2021, people from the Nahua Indigenous communities occupied the bottling plant of Bonafont water, a Danone subsidiary, in the Puebla region of Mexico. They were protesting the exploitation and depletion of water resources in the area by Bonafont and other private companies. After months of occupation to stop production and allow the water table to rise again, residents were evicted in February 2022. Solidarity actions are encouraged around the world. Oats require less water to grow than almonds and, while they do require a fair bit of land, there is little risk that tropical rainforest has been razed to the ground to grow them. Rice But don’t worry, it’s not just mashed potatoes blended with water. DUG’s range has three milks: original, unsweetened and barista. The original, sweetened version is a 1.5% milk, while the other two are 3%. And even though potatoes (9%) and water are the two most prominent ingredients, there’s pea protein and rapeseed oil complementing the texture in each of the milks.

While the cost-of-living crisis is forcing many people to make difficult choices, the top executives of larger companies are probably not worrying too much about having to tighten their belts. And it is tapping into a major shift in eating habits, with many Britons compelled by dietary concerns, ethical worries or lifestyle choices to ditch dairy and meat for plant-based alternatives. Perhaps the most well-known and widely available plant milk brand is Alpro, owned by Danone. However, Danone’s main focus is dairy products. Like Nestlé, Danone has received criticism for its marketing practices in relation to baby formula.We want to offer a drink that tastes great and makes using a plant-based milk alternative a tasty, positive, no-compromise experience that is good for you and good for the planet.” We recognise the need for versatility and variety, and we feel confident that our new range of plant-based drinks offers something for everyone’s usage needs,” Managing Director Nadine Maggi said. However, we are increasing production to keep up with the incredible response, so that we can make sure Baristas across the UK can continue supplying customers with delicious cow's milk-free drinks." Developed as part of Nestlé’s R&D Accelerator initiative – which works with “a startup mindset” – in just six months, Wunda was also certified as carbon neutral by the UK Carbon Trust, Nestlé said. It's good to see that many coffee shops now offer oat milk alongside soya, as it is by far the best vegan milk on the market in my opinion.
