Chocolate

Lactantia UltraPūr Chocolate is the 1% chocolate carton in the UltraPūr line, sold in 1.5 L. The page says it is made with ultra-filtered skim milk, with 50% more protein and 25% less sugar than regular chocolate milk, and that it is a source of 10 essential nutrients. It also says no sucralose or artificial sweeteners and no artificial colours.

Ingredients are partly skimmed milk, ultra-filtered skim milk, water, sugar, cocoa, salt, carrageenan, sodium phosphate, natural flavour, vitamin A palmitate and vitamin D3.

How Canadian is it? White UltraPūr pages say 100% Canadian milk. This chocolate page does not repeat that line. Cocoa and sugar are on the label, so the inputs are mixed even if the milk is processed in Canada by Lactalis Canada in Toronto. The owner is Lactalis Group of France.

Refrigerate.
