FAQ 1: Almond rice milk for toddlers and infants

I would like to find out about the safety of consuming Vitriz almond rice drink for toddlers.
This is a regular morning and evening drink for my 1.8 year old son
Is it possible to get a breakdown of electrolyte values? Do you know if consumption is safe at these ages or if there are additional additives in the drink beyond what is indicated on the packaging?

Answer – Vitariz almond rice milk is not a milk substitute for infants or toddlers. It is a simple beverage that is safe to consume moderately, but not exclusively as some important part of nutrition. We do not recommend making it a regular daily drink unless the child is allergic to lactose and his/her diet is handled by a professional and contains all of the recommended calcium and amino acids required for health and growth. Asking the nutritionist to factor in non-dairy milk beverages into the diet and ask whether they recommend using them is the best way. Besides, infants and toddlers under 5 years old should not consume rice drinks on a regullar basis, because of the levels of arsenic in these products.

FAQ 2: Buying vitariz rice milk in the US

Hi! I’m from Israel and just moved to LA, California in the US.
Would love to know if there’s any store here that has your milk.

Answer – to all of our dear Israeli vitariz fans 😥 – we’re sorry but Vitariz is not available in the US, it doesn’t have an official distributor to handle the tidious FDA approval process.

FAQ 3 – plant based milk VAT in EU

I‘m writing you to ask you to protest against the plan of the Dutch government to increase the VAT for plant/based milk from 1 January 2024.
Maybe you can bundle this protest through working together with other non-diary producers, such as Oatly.
I already protested as a consumer but the responsible departement of the ministry for public Health will not stop with its plan.

Answer – Indeed, this is atrocious, but since we and many other producers reside within the EU, the impact shouldn’t be so terrible.

FAQ 4 – allergens in vitariz rice milk products

I am interested get some allergen information regarding your products such as Rice Bechamel, Rice Dessert and oat drink.
My daughter is ANA to dairy and nuts (Walnut, Pecan. Cashew and Pistachio), and I am worry about cross contamination. Is there any chance that tree nuts or dairy products are manufactured on the same product line of the products I was mention?
FYI – She is not allergic to Almonds

Answer – other than almonds, the other potential cross-contminate might be Hazelnuts. Walnuts, Pecan, etc. are not part of the product line. However, caution is advised and would be better to make your own milk at home.

FAQ 5 – changes in flavor of vitariz rice milk

I am buying your rice almond drink for the past 10 years, and recently (approx. in the last month) I’ve started feeling a change in its taste – it is much less sweet than before. Did you change anything in the product? I must say the new flavor is much less tasty in my opinion. I would appreciate your respons

Answer – Not at all!  Vitariz rice milk uses the same secret family formula for the last 30 years. However, the flavor sometimes varies due to seasonal changes in the natural, organic ingridients.
