Strawberry milk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Strawberry milk is made either with fresh strawberries mixed with milk or with strawberry powder. It is a relatively recent development in the dairy world. It still has not gained the commonplace notoriety that chocolate milk has, but is being sold in more stores than the past. Nesquik also makes a strawberry milk powder.
[edit] History
In the United States, strawberry milk is made by several companies. Hershey’s chocolate made a strawberry syrup in the late 90’s, that would mix with milk much in the same way as their chocolate syrup. Thus making strawberry milk. Another company to make such a product is the Prairie Farms milk company that makes a carton of strawberry milk.
Eric Schlosser wrote in his 2006 food education book "Chew On This" that the strawberry milk sold at McDonald's Corporation chain of fast food restaurants contains 59 ingredients (most of which are artificial additives and E numbers) but doesn't contain a single strawberry.[1][2]
[edit] Internationally
Strawberry milk is very popular in Germany, where it is the most common alternative to chocolate milk. Companies such as Nestle sell it in many parts of the world, most notably in Asia. In the United States, there is a Nesquik powder that has been made since the late 50's, and a syrup that began in the late 80's.
