Title: Mineral salts?
Post by: Panda_9 on August 10, 2006, 09:23:11 PM

Ive just opened a carton of rice milk that I thought would of been ok to drink. Now Ive noticed one of the ingredients is mineral salts, one of which is potassium carbonate. Would that mean I should avoid this milk? Ive already had half a glass  :-\

You need to buy the "Original" and not the "Enriched."

Thanks Bigsky, its a so good brand rice milk. I thought of contacting them but last time I did that for a juice company they said they only had to list potassium if sodium content was so high  >:(
