On a mission to bring you plant-based goodness*
We tirelessly refine our recipes through tasting, testing, and your feedback.
From plant to breakfast bowl, we're proud to source our ingredients in a way that aims to minimize environmental impact and that tastes delicious! We add in some vitamins and minerals such as calcium, iodine and vitamins to bring you plant-based goodness* to start each day.
*Most of Alpro products are source of calcium, which is needed for the maintenance of normal bones. A varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle is recommended for good health.
More on Our ingredients
Non-gmo Soya
All our soya beans are and will always be non-GMO. 100% of our organic beans and over 50% of our conventional beans are grown in Europe (mostly France). And the rest we get from Canada – they’ve been growing brilliant beans there for years. It’s true, these travel quite a long way to get to our factory in Belgium, we ship them across the Atlantic by boat.
We also work with our growers to promote good farming practices – like including soya beans in their crop rotation to keep nitrogen in the soil, so that less fertilizer is needed. Plus, all our beans can be tracked from seed to serve. We have a system audited and certified according to the ProTerra standard by the independent organization, Food chain ID and we know where every bean has been. So enjoy the soya!
Discover our almond drinks from nut to glass
Step 1
Almond preparation – roasting, soaking, crushing
The first step in making our delicious Alpro Almond drinks is to soak the almonds in water. This ensures that they’re thoroughly cleaned.
To bring out their natural nutty flavour, the almonds are lightly roasted, before being finely crushed and combined with water to create the ultimate super delicious blend.
Step 2
Adding vitamins & minerals
It’s time to blend our almonds with water! at this stage in the process we add any other ingredients that might be needed, including the vitamins and minerals we use to enrich our almond drinks. These include calcium, iodine and vitamins D2, E and B12.
Finally, the resulting mixture is then strained. This gives Alpro Almond that signature smooth and creamy texture that complements its nutty taste
Step 3
Packed, delivered and ready to enjoy
Lastly we turn the almond drink into either a shelf-stable (UHT) or fresh (heat-treated) product. Then it’s packaging and delivery time so you can enjoy that plant-based nuttiness in your everyday breakfast!
Discover our oat drinks from the start to your glass
Step 1
Oats and water mixed and milled together
As a first step oats are dehusked, ground, and pressed to create the basis for our delicious oat drinks. They reach us here at Alpro as oat flour and they’re then mixed and milled together with water in our factory to create that smooth and silky texture. The ingredients used retain many of the nutrients from the oats.
Step 2
Adding enzymes, vitamin & mineral fortification
The next step in the process is to add enzymes to our creamy and smooth oat blend.
Then we are ready for other ingredients to be added. Specifically, vitamins D2, B2 and B9. We also add calcium to support the maintenance of normal bones, and iodine which contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system.
Each product will provide slightly different amounts of all those nutrients our body needs. So, always check the packs for the full facts.

About stabilisers, thickeners and emulsifiers
We occasionally include ingredients such as stabilisers, thickeners and emulsifiers, to make our foods look and taste even more delicious. But rest assured that there are some things you’ll never, ever find in any Alpro product – preservatives, artificial sweeteners and colourings.
Stabilizers
Stabilisers help our drinks flow smoothly and give our plant-based alternatives to yogurt a creamy texture. They maintain food texture or colour, prevent liquids from separating and preserve natural colour.Thickeners
Thickeners do just as their name suggests – they make foods thicker and creamier. And that's especially useful for low in fat plant-based food, just a little thickener can add that luxurious touch that makes a dessert so delicious.Emulsifiers
We add just the right amount of emulsifier to keep our drinks perfectly blended and oh-so-smooth. Think of an emulsifier as a little matchmaker! It has one end that loves water (hydrophilic) and one end that prefers oil (hydrophobic). In simpler terms, it’s like a tiny tie that brings water and oil together, holding hands and making sure they stay happily mixed. Cheers to that!
Where our magic happens
We produce our delicious drinks in four productions facilities: Alpro Issenheim, Kettering, Villecomtal and Wevelgem sites. They all run on 100% renewable electricity. And with our Danone Re-Fuel program of the Danone Impact Journey, aligned to our 1.5° GHG reduction roadmap, we are doubling down on efficiency and doubling up on renewable energy.
