Silk Almond zero sugar beverage

Silk is a pioneering brand in the plant-based dairy alternative market, originally established in 1977 by Steve Demos in Boulder, Colorado. The brand began as part of WhiteWave Foods, which focused on soy-based products before expanding into almond, oat, and coconut alternatives.

In 2017, the brand underwent a significant corporate shift when the French multinational food-products corporation, Danone, acquired WhiteWave Foods. This acquisition established Danone as a global leader in plant-based nutrition. Today, Silk beverages sold in the Canadian market are typically manufactured in regional facilities across North America, including major production sites in Canada and the United States, to ensure freshness and reduce transport distances.

As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, Silk remains a core pillar of Danone's 'Essential Dairy and Plant-Based' (EDP) division. The brand is recognized for its commitment to sustainability, utilizing water-saving techniques for almond cultivation and maintaining a strong presence in health-conscious consumer segments.
