    Silk introduced Silk Kids, the brand's first plant-based beverage made with an oatmilk blend crafted for children ages five and up. Silk Kids was developed with pediatricians to deliver "enhanced nutritional benefits to support growing kids flavor kids love."

    Made with a unique, deliciously creamy oat and pea blend, Silk Kids delivers 8 grams of plant protein per serving to help support muscle health, DHA omega-3 and choline to help support brain health, as well as prebiotics, the company said.

    "Delivering on both taste and nutrition is imperative, especially when it comes to nourishing kids," said Kristie Leigh, registered dietitian and Director of Nutrition and Scientific Affairs at Danone North America. "That's why we developed Silk Kids – to provide targeted nutrition kids need in a plant-based beverage they'll love, because mealtime shouldn't be a struggle."

    Silk Kids packaging also features "Spot the Bees," an interactive game on the back panel of the carton with eye-catching designs and illustrations about sustainability programs.

    "As a mom myself, I know how picky kids can be about their food. That's why Silk Kids is created specifically to support growing kids – whether it be topping a bowl of cereal for a quick breakfast or pouring a cold glass with an after-school snack," said Kallie Goodwin, Senior Vice President, Plant-Based Beverages at Danone North America. "We're excited to offer a new delicious plant-based beverage made specifically for kids to help keep them nourished as they continue to grow."

    Silk Kids is available in a refrigerated multi-serve 59-oz. carton, available now on select shelves this fall with a larger nationwide roll out starting in early 2025.

      Total Cost of Quality: Uncovering hidden opportunities for food and beverage producers

      ON DEMAND: 58% of food producers worldwide have been affected by a recall in the last five years. Do you know how much you’re spending on food safety and quality? From appraisals and prevention to managing production failures and product returns, the costs can add up quickly – and often aren’t measured.
