[QUOTE="LivingLightly, post: 2628063, member: 572522"] Many thanks for your reply. That's the beauty of this forum. It's always good to know that a tried and tested alternative exists, should your regular supplier not carry it. My original point was the wording on the front of a carton which implied the firm's almond milk contained all natural ingredients. Once home, I found [I]maltodextrin[/I] listed in the small print on the back. I knew [I]maltodextrins [/I]were widely used by the food industry as thickeners and fat replacers. (They have been linked to potential health risks, especially in vulnerable individuals such as diabetic customers). I could have kicked myself for falling for the carefully worded marketing guff printed in large letters on the front of the carton. [/QUOTE]
