New Product–Documentation: E-mail sent by WholeSoy<br />

& Co. 2011. Jan. 26. “WholeSoy & Co. releases two new<br />

fl avors.” “The Key Lime is a refreshingly tart <strong>and</strong> sweet<br />

extension <strong>of</strong> the company’s 6-ounce <strong>soy</strong> <strong>yogurt</strong> line,<br />

available in twelve <strong>other</strong> fl avors. The Organic Unsweetened<br />

Plain, available in a 24-ounce container, was a direct result<br />

<strong>of</strong> consumer requests.<br />

“Dr. Ted A. Nordquist, founder <strong>and</strong> CEO <strong>of</strong><br />

WholeSoy & Co., worked with a team, including Dr. Luba<br />

Shynkarenko-Sichel <strong>of</strong> Pure Research Products, to create<br />

WholeSoy’s Organic Unsweetened Plain <strong>soy</strong> <strong>yogurt</strong>. Dr.<br />

Shynkarenko-Sichel developed a unique strain <strong>of</strong> probiotic<br />

culture, L. Plantarum LM, over many years <strong>of</strong> research in<br />

Ukraine. WholeSoy’s new Organic Unsweetened Plain <strong>soy</strong><br />

<strong>yogurt</strong> is the fi rst non-dairy unsweetened <strong>yogurt</strong> to use the L.<br />

Plantarum LM culture. The culture favors <strong>soy</strong> so much that<br />

at production it develops 140 billion CFUs (Colony Forming<br />

Units) per 8-ounce serving together with the <strong>other</strong> probiotic<br />

cultures, L. Acidophilus <strong>and</strong> B. Bifi dum. This breakthrough<br />

eliminated the need for the addition <strong>of</strong> <strong>other</strong> carbohydrates,<br />

such as organic sugar, to aid the development <strong>of</strong> probiotic<br />

in Canada. Letter to William Shurtleff at Soyinfo <strong>Center</strong>,<br />

• Summary: “My br<strong>other</strong> Erik <strong>and</strong> I have been managing<br />

Yoso for almost ten years now. We started out our fi rst day<br />

<strong>of</strong> business with three customers in the Kitchener-Waterloo<br />

area. Today we have over one thous<strong>and</strong> retail outlets that<br />

support Yoso across Canada. Most important, I believe we<br />

have managed to <strong>of</strong>fer great tasting <strong>soy</strong> products which<br />

appealed to customers.<br />

“After ten years <strong>of</strong> establishing the Canadian market, I<br />

believe we are ready to explore the biggest <strong>soy</strong>food market<br />

in the world–the United States.”<br />

“Our production facility is already registered with the<br />

FDA, <strong>and</strong> I have already recruited an agent as a primary<br />

broker.”<br />

Note: The company’s website is www.yoso.ca. The<br />

company apparently sells <strong>yogurt</strong>s, sour cream, spreads, <strong>and</strong><br />

beverages, but this may be only one product–a “gourmet <strong>soy</strong><br />

spread.”<br />

Update: 12 Sept. 2012. On the company’s homepage<br />

are color photos <strong>of</strong> four <strong>soy</strong> products: (1) Yoso Soy Yogurt.<br />

(2) Yoso Spreadables (<strong>soy</strong> spreads). (3) Yoso Sour Creme /<br />

Crème sure, (4) Yoso Wave (<strong>soy</strong> beverage).<br />
