Allergens

• Peach: Possible individual intolerance; potential cross-reactivity in case of grass pollen allergy.
• Almonds: Listed as an allergen in Regulation (EU) No. 1169/2011; may cause cross-reactivity in case of Birch or Grass pollen allergy.
• Corn: Possible cross-reactivity in case of sensitivity to grasses.
• Agar Agar: May cause gastrointestinal discomfort in sensitive individuals.
• Cardamom: Possible reactivity in case of spice allergies.
• Coconut: Possible intolerance.

Notes

• “Milk” is a common term but, by law, it can only be used for mammalian secretions. In 2017, the European Court of Justice prohibited the use of the term “milk” for plant-based products. It is therefore correct to refer to it as a “beverage.”
• You can use cow’s milk instead of almond beverage or any other plant-based milk.
• Sugar can be replaced with a sweetener (e.g., stevia or erythritol), maple syrup, agave juice, or fruit concentrate (e.g., date or quince concentrate).
