Founded in Italy, the brand is owned by Finsalute Srl and is particularly well known in the European market for its dairy-free alternatives. Valsoia’s vegan milk range is designed to offer a nutritious, animal-free substitute for traditional dairy milk.

For which criteria does Valsoia perform poorly?

Valsoia receives a bottom rating for Vegetarian/Vegan Verified, indicating that it does not hold a recognised third-party vegan certification for its products.

Additionally, Valsoia scores poorly for Organic, as the brand does not produce certified organic vegan milk products. It also receives a bottom rating for Packaging, suggesting room for improvement in its use of sustainable or recyclable packaging materials.

Valsoia also receives a Poor rating for Ethical Accreditation, meaning it has not yet sought or obtained accreditation from a recognised ethical body. To find out more about the methodology we use for our research, see our How We Rate page.

How can Valsoia improve its ethical rating?

The GOOD Shopping Guide calculates a brand’s Ethical Rating based on three categories: the Environment, People, and Animals. For more precise ideas on how to improve, Valsoia should apply for Ethical Accreditation.

Valsoia could improve its Ethical Rating by obtaining recognised vegan certification for its products, introducing organic-certified milk alternatives, and improving the sustainability of its packaging.
