Because Silk products are dairy-free, why is the Kosher certification OU-D?
All Silk products are completely dairy-free and can be suitable for people with dairy allergies. While Silk soy products do not contain dairy, they carry OU-D Kosher certification because they may be produced on equipment that also produces dairy products. Silk follows strict allergen-cleanup procedures to ensure that products made on shared equipment are dairy-free. We have extensive testing protocols in place at our production facilities to detect and prevent contamination by dairy or dairy components including casein and lactose. Those with severe allergies should always consult a doctor before introducing a new food.
