HI there
I hope this thread doesnt come to late for people i recently have had a similar problem with my son who like myself cant take milk. Due to this my son one day at nursery heard him shouting for milk like the rest of the kids and it reminded me of what i went through all those years ago at school. So i have been on a soya milk 250ml mission. I have spoken to Alpro Soya who have advised currently they only make strawberry and chocolate flavour in the 250mls. They did do the orginal flavour but due to poor demand they have take this off the market. They have confirmed with me in writing that if demand takes off they will reinstate the orginal flavour. They advised it was down to the supermarkets and what they order. Therefore i have contacted Tesco, Asda, Morrison and Sainsburys and advised them that on adverage there are 2 children per nursery are on soya milk. The demand is there as Alpro's sister company Provanmill make different flavours and are selling well. Sainsburys have been fantastic and have confirmed they will stock the chocolate and strwberry flavour and if demand take off they will contact Alpro asking for other flavours to be made. Morrisons have advised they will speak to there supplier and take it from there. Tesco are looking into the matter along with Asda. What i am requesting from anyone who reads this post to please contact the supermarkets head office by letter and your request will be taken seriously. I am currently trying to think of ways to promote this thread as i feel it is an important one for us mums who want the best for our children. As i have said for me in my family it is a heredity one and its not going away anytime soon.
Thankyou for reading this and please take time out to write to the supermarkets to make a difference.
