Almond Milk

Almond milk is a plant-based beverage made from ground almonds and water. It is typically produced by soaking almonds, blending them with water, and then straining the mixture to remove the solids. The resulting liquid is a dairy-free alternative to cow's milk.

Almond milk is used as a dairy-free alternative in beverages, cereals, and baked goods. Manufacturers add it to provide a creamy texture and a mild, nutty flavor. It is also found in products like yogurt alternatives, ice cream, and coffee creamers.

Almond milk is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a source of vitamin E and often fortified with calcium and vitamin D. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food ingredients, but specific evaluations for almond milk as a standalone product are not typically listed. Intake of almond milk is not associated with significant health risks for most people, though individuals with nut allergies should avoid it.
