Living in Finland in the EU, I am very confused as to why none of the vegan milk products contain added calcium. Children need a certain amount of calcium which they easily get through cows milk. But not so through vegan milk, because it does not naturally contain calcium.

Are there any laws that forbid adding calcium in your country? Is there any other reason as to why oat and soy based milk products don’t get added calcium?

    Yes, I remember a lot of organic milks were fortified with some calcium rich algae. Nowadays the only fortified soy milk I can find is Alpro (not organic, with calciumcarbonate).

    It’s a real shame because I really liked Provamel and the Alnatura one.
