Living in Finland in the EU, I am very confused as to why none of the vegan milk products contain added calcium. Children need a certain amount of calcium which they easily get through cows milk. But not so through vegan milk, because it does not naturally contain calcium.

Are there any laws that forbid adding calcium in your country? Is there any other reason as to why oat and soy based milk products don’t get added calcium?

    I had no idea there was calcium in water until just now. I googled it and the amount of calcium is miniscule but still there.

        Yeah, “hard water” can contain as high as 1/10 your daily calcium needs per liter. That’s wild to me.

          Yeah the water where I live is at 36+ °f making it a not insignifiant part of my daily calcium
