Silk is a brand of dairy-substitute products (including soy milk, soy yogurt, almond milk and coconut milk) owned by WhiteWave Foods. ==History== Silk was founded by Steve Demos in Boulder, Colorado in 1978. The first product was introduced in March 1996 by WhiteWave, Inc. at the Natural Foods Expo in Anaheim, California. In the years that followed, Silk became a successful, world-wide, organic brand. In 2002 WhiteWave, Inc (parent of Silk Soymilk) was sold to Dean Foods for just under $300 million. The company's sales grew to $350 million in annual revenues by 2005. As the business grew, Silk became the largest purchaser of organic, Non GMO soybeans in the North America. According to Silk's web site in August 2009, all its soy beans are sourced from North America including organic and non-GMO soybeans.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Soybean Sourcing and Production Program ) 〕 In January 2010, the company introduced Silk Pure Almond, an almond milk, and its first non-soy-based product. In 2013, WhiteWave Foods separated from Dean Foods, and became an independent, publicly traded company. Silk has been a five year recipient of the Green Power Leadership Award from the U.S. Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency. Silk has been a supporter of Farm Aid since 2002. Silk is a member of the Soyfoods Association of North America, (SANA) which provides information about the health benefits and nutritional advantages of soy consumption. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silk (plant milk)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
