WholeSoy & Co., maker of America’s best-selling non-dairy soy yogurt, is proud to announce the release of two new flavors: Key Lime and Organic Unsweetened Plain. The Key Lime is a refreshingly tart and sweet extension of the company’s 6-ounce soy yogurt line, available in twelve other flavors. The Organic Unsweetened Plain, available in a 24-ounce container, was a direct result of consumer requests.

Dr. Ted A. Nordquist, founder and CEO of WholeSoy & Co., worked with a team, including Dr. Luba Shynkarenko-Sichel of Pure Research Products, to create WholeSoy's Organic Unsweetened Plain soy yogurt. Dr. Shynkarenko-Sichel developed a unique strain of probiotic culture, L. Plantarum LM, over many years of research in Ukraine. WholeSoy's new Organic Unsweetened Plain soy yogurt is the first non-dairy unsweetened yogurt to use the L. Plantarum LM culture.

An excerpt from the article:

Just what on earth are genetically modified foods (GMO's) and why all the hub-bub? In an effort to educate the public on the dangers of genetically modified foods, the Non-GMO Project's Technical Advisory Board launched the first ever Non-GMO Month in October.

Internationally renowned soy pioneer and WholeSoy & Co. founder, Ted Nordquist has served on the board for several years leading the efforts to ensure the ongoing availability of non-GMO soy

In September 2010, First For Women featured WholeSoy as a "Pick It!" option for a creamy and healthy snack:

After a morning spent making countless tough decisions, we want a healthy snack that's nice and simple. Our choice? Vanilla yogurt, a creamy classic that always hits the spot. But when we discovered our pick was packing with four different fillers and additives, our dream of having at least one no-brainer decision unraveled. Then we found WholeSoy & Co. Vanilla Yogurt. Thanks to the soy, we get bonus health benefits like lower cholesterol and fewer menopausal problems. And with only one (organic) filler, it's pure-and-simple delicious!

An excerpt from the featured article:

Who says giving up dairy is difficult? If yogurt has been one of your dietary staples, then Whole Soy & Co. could make your transition into the non-dairy world virtually seamless...

The taste was undeniably yogurt. Slightly tart, yet very well sweetened with organic evaporated cane juice.  The fruit yogurts are flavored with…get this…real fruit. To be honest, I wouldn’t have guessed these yogurts were all natural, let alone organic. They tasted just as sweet and “indulgent” as some of the mainstream yogurts...
