Most of the Silk (soy milk) page is clearly copied straight off their website (such as 'helping the environment,' from http://www.silksoymilk.com/AboutSilkOurCauses/HelpingTheEnvironment.aspx ). Deleting all this may leave us without a page.. Faunablues 01:42, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I removed the blatant advertising. You're right; there's not much left. I edited down the enviro section but ended up deleting pretty much everything else. I hope my edit is ok. Let me know if not. Thanks.Kirs10 22:50, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
- 'Silk Soymilk has been a PROUD supporter of Farm Aid since 2002'?? That's press release talk. Does not belong here. Also, if the author is going to pass along the company's 'Green' claims verbatim, how about Googling up a little skepticism as well? Relgif (talk) 02:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Moved text to talk page[edit]
I took this text out of the article as the source is not verifiable and also Silk is a product not a company, so how can it purchase solar power? this fact can be added back in when its confirmed by a source and accurately stated.

Citations do not support the sentence[edit]
I don't see how these citations support this sentence. Am I missing something? I have left it in the article for now. Hopefully we can clarify these sources.

Please UPDATE Non-Organic Info in the 'Controversy' Section[edit]
[ My first posting. Please notify me if I made any errors following the Wikipedia protocols. ]
According to Silk's website they currently have NO GMO products!I love being a consumer advocate and I applaud the heads up when information is accurate, YET I also like being current and honest. It seems this entry needs to be UPDATED especially to show support to companies that change and respond to consumer: needs, suggestions and requests.
I found several article online yet they all where several years old with a similar theme: 'boycott Silk because they are no longer organic.' Just to make sure instead of just believing whatever I read, I actually went to Silk's website and found that they are now carrying Organic AND the non-Organic is Non-GMO. [1]
Generally speaking this printer can’t coordinate hues in shading replicating, give no duplicate controls, has truly awful photograph yield and just normal content yield even in high settings. Epson l210 resetter free download driver. It is not modest either.
Here is what they say in their FAQ's'Do Silk products contain genetically engineered (GMO) soybeans? No..'[2]

Reason Silk can't afford organic soy beans anymore and must use cheap labor[edit]Silk has allowed fraudulent '$2 off 1 half gallon' coupons to circulate on eBay for over 3 years. Silk was and is aware of the problem and have been for over 3 years yet have done nothing to stop the repeated sale of thousands of the coupons (sellers with 'good' printers just keep printing off more copies). It's because of this coupon Silk has had to dish out thousands of dollars in reimbursements to grocers and because of that expense, Silk now has to cut back in other areas such as the quality of their product, find cheapo labor, and increase the price of their product. Silk customer service will even tell you if you call, that at one time, for a very short time over 3 years ago, the coupon had been offered online for consumers to print one per person but the link to print the coupon had been discontinued. The coupon did have an expiration date when Silk offered it. The positioning of the expiration date on the top of the coupon made it easy to cut off once printed; then the coupon was re-copied with no date at all. And some eBay sellers made thousands of copies. Silk just hasn't acted because the company thinks eBay is a good venue to get attention for their soymilk and feel people who might be tempted to try a different brand won't because those people will be too excited to bid on and win the auctions for the $2-off coupons. So Silk is willing to take the loss but have to cut back in other areas because of the immense cost. The sellers make $6 to $9 per auction for 15 to 20 coupons. The coupons are quite popular and soy milk drinkers will stay loyal to Silk because they can get so much of a discount whereas other brands don't ever offer that much off per half gallon. Here are some current auctions on eBay just over a few week's period of time. You can just imagine how many coupons were distributed every day for over 3 years. 180598779499,180598161271, 180598193426, 180597670869, 180598108140, 180597473724, 180597835195, 180598455089, 180596103483, 180596476085 andsome auctions with a store receipt for an item photo(instead of a scan of the actual coupon) to 'prove' to buyers that many stores will accept the shady coupon.180598952105, 180598193707, 180598161531, 180597947792, 180597590249.12.25.109.78 (talk) 07:22, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Silk Milk Website
Does anyone know if Silk Soy Milk is safe for someone with a peanut/tree nut allergy? Silk Brand also makes Almond milk and Coconut milk.
Any thoughts?
By allergymama on Dec 29, 2011
I was hoping someone else on this forum also deals with a milk allergy. My child has a peanut/tree nut allergy. Now we have just become allergic to milk. So I'm looking for an alternative milk that is nut allergy safe.
Silk milk has a disclaimer on every package which says it is made on on shared equipment with Almond milk and Coconut milk. We I called the company I was told they batch test the soy milk for almond and coconut. If present, they dispose of the soy milk. They follow good manufacturing practices and follow a strict cleaning process. But still it makes me very nervous.
So I was really hoping someone else on this forum could tell me that they use Silk Soy milk without any problems. Or has anyone heard of problems with Silk Soy milk for a nut allergic person?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Alot of people in my allergy group have stopped using Silk Soy milk due to this. I can't remember if they had problems, or just was scared of the warning. I would never drink it if my son had a Tree nut allergy, specifically almond. Many of them use SO Delicious Coconut Milk now.
We don't have milk allergy and I hope some people with personal experience reply but this board has been slow and I just wanted to pass on what I know from others.
Silk Brand Almond Milk
By peanutskill on Jan 2, 2012
My daughter used to drink silk, but I am not sure that they had the almond milk. Apparently coconut is ok for someone with a tree nut allergy unless they are specifically allergic to coconut. I had seen on a coconut cream pie allergy warning that it contained tree nuts with coconut in parenthesis, so I called the company and they told me the only tree nut was the coconut..so I called the allergist and they said that coconuts are not tree nuts.

We use Silk Soy Milk. My daughter is allergic to peanuts and coconut. We have not had a problem, been using it for 3 years now. I currently have a generic store brand, but if I remember correctly the package says processed in the same facility to go online for more info. When I did that here is what you get http://switchtosilk.com/allergens/ . We are still using it. However I have found generic brands of soy milk don't usually carry a warning. Specifically Wal-mart. Since Wal-mart is usually crazy with their warnings I take that as a good thing, but I have never actually verified.
