however the figures for coconut milk have been changed to reflect So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage by Turtle Mountain Co
For dairy allergic kids, it looks to me that coconut milk is the best choice. For us it is the only choice because of personal allergens.
I just discovered that Rice Milk has gluten in it. Though not enough to require labeling. I think it is 20 ppm. Some sensitive people do react to the gluten though. Just be wary if gluten is a trigger for you.
