This is not a safety clearance. Compare it with the current physical package.
For parents concerned about their child's soy allergy, Each A Cup is generally considered unsafe due to its ingredients. While specific formulations can vary, common ingredients in Each A Cup often include soy-based components. For instance, many versions contain soy milk or soy lecithin, which are direct sources of soy. Even if a specific batch doesn't list soy explicitly, there's a significant risk of cross-contamination during manufacturing, especially for products produced in facilities that handle soy.
Given the high risk of soy presence, it is strongly recommended to avoid Each A Cup for children with soy allergies. Always check the ingredient list on the packaging before purchasing, but even then, the potential for undeclared soy or cross-contamination means it's best to err on the side of caution. For Singaporean consumers, this means carefully scrutinizing labels at NTUC FairPrice and Cold Storage, and being aware that even seemingly simple desserts can harbor hidden soy.
Options to investigate
Starting points only. Formulations and facilities change, so verify the product in your hand.
Option 1
Dairy-based puddings (e.g., chocolate, vanilla)
Typically made with cow's milk and do not contain soy, provided they are not processed in a facility with soy and are clearly labeled soy-free.
Option 2
Fruit jellies/agar-agar
These are generally made from fruit juice and gelling agents like agar-agar, which are soy-free. Always check the label for any added soy ingredients or cross-contamination warnings.
Option 3
Homemade puddings/desserts
By making desserts at home, you have complete control over the ingredients, ensuring no soy is used. You can use soy-free milk alternatives like oat milk or rice milk, and check all other ingredients for hidden soy.
Option 4
Myprotein Soy-Free Puddings
Myprotein offers various pudding options, and their soy-free formulations are specifically designed for allergen-conscious consumers. Always verify the specific product labeling.
