Beware of carrageenan ingredient:
My 2 year old loves this milk, drinking at least 1 per day for the past 2-3 weeks. He began having digestive issues and complaining of belly aches, so I googled the ingredient listed as carrageenan. It's a "natural" thickening agent used in soy milk and other organic products that causes many people to experience the same symptoms my son has experienced. In fact, many people who drink certain brands of soy milk containing carrageenan mistakenly attribute their digestive problems to the soy, when it's actually the carrageenan. IS CARRAGEENAN REALLY NATURAL? Carrageenan is about as wholesome as monosodium glutamate (MSG), which is extracted from rice, and can equally be considered natural. Aspartame (NutraPoison) is also natural, as it is extracted from decayed plant matter that has been underground for millions of years (oil). So too are many other substances such as carrageenan that can also be classified by FDA and USDA as wholesome and natural food additives. Just because something comes from a natural source does not mean that it is safe. Organic? What a joke. Horizon and the conglomerate that owns this factory farm should be ashamed of themselves.
great!:
My kids love this vanilla milk. It is great to be able to pack milk without worrying about the refrigeration
Pricey:
My daughter loves this stuff but we pay $14.99 per 18-pack at the local grocery store. $22 is a little pricey.
Good as long as it's "good":
My daughter loves to get these at Starbucks whenever we go to get me an overpriced coffee. I feel good about giving them to her because it's Organic, however, there have been more that a few times that she has gotten a rancid one that had not even yet past the expiration date! I know these don't have to be refrigerated... but maybe they should be? Anyway, these are great, but give em a sniff test before handing them over to your child.
Awesome and even healthy product - but don't buy at expensive Amazon:
These are the only milks our children will drink - we mix Horizon regular milk with them to dilute to reduce our kids' sugar intake - but these are awesome tasting, great for travel and have super long shelf lives. Don't buy here though - you can buy for $12-13 at other retail outlets. We get ours at BJ's wholesale club. They only sell the vanilla though-Whole Foods sells the Strawberry by the case (either 12 or 18-packs).
