2 years ago in 2018, one is able to buy the V-soy Original 1L for about RM4.

Two days ago on Sunday, 16th February 2020, I saw in Aeon supermarket that the price has increased to about RM6 (RM5.95). That is a 50% price increase, which is a huge price increase. In fact, it's a ridiculous price increase. If they increase the price by 5% per year or maybe even 10% per year, we can understand but this is bonkers. V-soy is getting more expensive. I have also seen an online price of RM6.40 at http://dinasou.com/productview.aspx?id=7813. What is crazier is that the market price is apparently RM6.80.

I would recommend everyone not to buy V-soy or at least buy V-soy less and consider other brands of soy milk.

Even ridiculous than HL milk

But...but...but it's tasty

This part najib was right. It’s a free market, Govt can’t control all prices.

It’s like people keep buying overpriced stocks or properties.

I just started buying it.

Been buying the low sugar, golden grain and multi grain ones.

These days for breakfast I mix 1/3 golden grain, 1/3 unsweetened almond milk and 1/3 whole fresh milk.

I think it is fairly good value for money considering the prices of the raw materials of late.

Wow....i tot i was the only one notice the price changed for the V-soy milk thingy...... kudos.....

Should stop buying them and let the price come down....

If you know of other things that has increased prices a lot or unreasonably, then please let me/us know by listing them here.

You all still buying V-soy ar....you gais just take a look at the ingredient list lar, almost like chemistry text book..adoi.

Looks like you didn't get it. The point of this post is to stop buying V-soy, not to still buy V-soy. Actually you are not that accurate to say the ingredients are like chemistry text book. I read the ingredients and the ones that you meant are vitamins and minerals.

this

base on the ingredient list, its seems like a highly proceeded food if you ask me...

Prices of raw materials have risen so need to raise the price to cover the cost.

It's a free market, V-soy is also not a controlled item. If you feel it is too expensive for you, go find other alternatives. Same goes for any other non-controlled items in the market. Demand and supply, yo.

V soy.... still got other options to choose.

too high estrogen + sugar will give you man boobs

let stop buying

overated

Please stop drinking shit like this. Buy those from roadside is much better.

rooadside unker soya bean is tastier. got taufufah samo

Yes, that is why I calling others to consider other brands.

Like to drink it during my college period. If i remember correctly, it’s one of those potong kaki soy milk.

Any good alts to the V-Soy brand (besides the truck ones)?

Roadside Unker one is made fresh daily. Thats why i say stop drinking those packaged shit.

have you seen how they process road side ones? have you seen the factories? Hygiene is not in their vocab...

Seen? My uncle was selling this for many years. And i was in charge of cleaning his cart. I'm getting paid 3 bucks to clean his cart every day when i was a kid. So i do have experience.

My gf's favourite drink and still is. Even in our fridge has a dozen of it.

It is my favorite soy drink but wonder why it is so expensive. Other soya drink dont even come close to vsoy imo.

All uses same ingredients yeah? Or different main ingredients?

Should be slightly different ingredients and different concentrations for the soy beans.

sorry why v-soy so famous? i drink before, tastes machiem weird.

please enlighten.

But what is your motive by advocating for people to stop buying?
Just because of the price factor?

+1 with zerozero00 and yeeck on the underlined.

Imported from Siamland .....Baht sudah naik banyak ma....itu pun tak tau ke . . . .

My sister in UK only drink soy milk as she hates dairy and she thought soy milk healthier. Angmoh put milk n cream, she put soy milk in her tea. After years of consuming, it played havoc with her hormone. And she got some women organ disease. Not endometriosis but some complicated name. She stop drinking altogether now.

We all can drink soy milk but only drink sparingly la

Kalau mau initiate boycott, biar suggest sekali alternative

I pon tahu jangan undi lagi ph and bn, tapi siapa lagi ada?

My family doctor once told me that all these processed food/drinks are not advisable. The contents are always similar from brand to brand, ie, always artificial ingredients are added to make it tasty, colorful or smell nice. The contents written on the packages are sometimes misleading, as you need to know the portion of each ingredient, to determine whether the product is suitable for you or not.

Soy products are bad for men

Enfemininating

But but but....PH did says GST is the cause of all price increase. May be still got GST and hidden somewhere?

Ok noted
But never have tasted v-soy in my life
But I support unwarranted price increase
Will not try it
Also I will not buy Honda
Not happy with their price adjustment also
Last time I drove a Honda was 1993

My mum also like to buy V-Soy. And you can make soya pudding with it.
Try the recipe here:
Easy Soya Milk Longan Pudding

Yeah dont buy V-soy. First ingredient is water

Its funny no one thinks much about the products that say NO PRESERVATIVES!! and have shelf life of few months or more.

Will still buy vsoy. Its nice

This post has been edited by UserU: Feb 27 2020, 01:04 PM

The shelve life is actually a requirement for "on-shelve" for a lot of the hyper/super and cvs, meaning, if your product is less than 6 months shelve life, they don't even allow it to be display on the shelves (this is for ambient product)

The cleaner the ingredient list, the healthier it is, but it is a challenge for shelve life and also taste. but can be done, but with higher price.

Its a free market and it has no price cap
U cannot tell ppl not to buy just because u dont want to buy
Just like BMF

Don't go to Aeon, I went to NSK supermarket and the low sugar version is only RM4.50. Quite affordable.

I prefer V-Soy to Yeo Hiap Seng which is so diluted. V-Soy also use NON-GMO soya bean compared to Yeo Hiap Seng.

NON-GMO soya bean has more nutrition than GMO soya bean which is genetically modified to grow faster.

V-Soy use NON-GMO soya bean not those GMO soya bean which are genetically modified.

That's why V-Soy taste better and also it is less diluted.

Yeo Hiap Seng is more diluted with water. That's why it is less tasty.

Those are just myths produced by milk producers.

Chinese have been drinking soya beans for few thousand years, do you see all become effeminate?

Chinese don't have a choice because more than 90% are lactose intolerant to milk.

Most Chinese don't know that when drinking those teh tarik with milk, it produce gas (ie. fart) because of indigestion to lactose.

I only knew this during my genetic class with my Angmoh prof.

Conclusion, Chinese can't drink milk so must drink soya bean milk.

BTW, most Chinese are lactose intolerant to milk.

Chinese in China have been drinking for thousand of years and it didn't do 'havoc' with her hormone. Don't blame on soya bean.

Ask your sister to drink NON-GMO soya milk and also those who don't have preservatives added.

I usually buy soy milk n add my own milk powder.

Dont blame soy beans. If drinking soy milk can disrupt hormones. All chinese n japs should be extinct by now.

Miso natto beancurd tofu all soy beans.

Dang vsoy multi grain was my all time fav

Those are fake propaganda spread by milk producers to promote their protein shake.
I was fooled by them once by buying those protein shake which caused me to 'fart'.

Chinese and Japanese can't digest milk, that's why they must drink soya beans drink.

Please! There are not much difference between non-GMO vs GMO soybean in term of taste.

In V-Soy there are other additives that improves taste, smell and texture of the products. Look at the ingredients...



Barley milk - probably to improve on texture (the so-called less diluted texture you taste)
Soya bean oil - probably to improve on smell and flavor

In term of no-GMO vs GMO soybeans, the GM crops are mainly product of Monsanto, genetically modified to allow the soybeans plant to be able to withstand Roundup (herbicide). With non-GMO, the farmers have to resort to more labor intensive process during the growing of soy. Though nowadays, the usage of glyphosate/paraquat is quite prevalent in non-GMO soy, as they are corn safe, so your non-GMO soy may actually contains herbicide.

This is not to say V-Soy is bad, just to inform you to look into the ingredients before coming to conclusion blindly.

sugar too high, why still buy? put the price aside. can't wait to cut leg is it? oh wait, people still queue to buy bubble tea.

Bro, everyone is Malaysia is using non-GMO Canadian soya beans, now I tell you, extraction process in Malaysia, max at cocnetrate can only get 3.5% to 4% protein from soya bean. When you add water and sugar and other stuff, it dilutes the protein futher, if you see in the V-Soy ingredient, they actually put in protein powder and a lot of other thickeners (malt and barley are thickeners) so you get the thick taste.

Good High Quality Soy with high protein needs only 3 ingredients, Soya Bean, Water and Sugar, do not need thickener, do not need anti-foaming, do not need preservative but in Malaysia the technology is not available....yet...but will akan datang...stay tuned.

Yes it is getting expensive

That is the right way to list ingredient.
The highest content is listed first in decending sequence.
Coke list water first, yet so many buy.
Imagine if soy product beverage have soy > water then would it be mud like ?

sometime I also wonder whats the different between v-soy and roadside soy

i used to love it...but lately my taste buds changed....I find it taste so yucksss and stop buying anymore.

Non-GMO is definitely better than GMO nutritionally.

Is artificial leather better than natural leather?
Is artificial teeth better than natural teeth?
Is artificial leg better than natural leg?
Is artificial egg better than natural egg?

GMO soya bean is just artificial soya bean to support those GMO soya bean growers in USA to make more money because they grow faster but nutritionally poorer.

It's just like they use growth hormone on animals to make them grow faster.

Are you working for Yeo Hiap Seng who use GMO soya bean?

Chinese and Japanese have been using non-GMO natural soya bean for thousand of years until those Americans come up with an artificial version.

There is a low sugar version for V-soy. I buy it and it's cheaper

I think you confused between GMO/non-GMO vs Artificial/Real.

Just fyi, most of the food we eat today is GMO, either you like it or not. The carrot we eat today is different from the carrot our ancestor eat long long time ago. So does most vege we eat. Cabbage, brussel sprouts, etc.

What I mean is other brand like soyfresh, the first ingredient is soy extract, which for me is better rather than water?

Those are misleading label.
If soy extract more than water then it would have texture of mud.

But you are free to enjoy what you like.

I stopped consuming soy milk.
Thanks to gout.
Still eating red meat and seafoods though.

Stop drinking v-soy la u all later slowly develop soy boy characteristic

LOL.

I try to eat natural, non-GMO food as much as possible, those that are not modified to grow faster.

I also don't eat growth hormone injected chickens/animals to make them grow faster.

No wonder cancer rates is high in modern society because people keep on eating man-made chemical-laced food instead of natural food.

u think everyone can afford organic non-gmo produce?

if we a;; have the choice, who dun wanna eat good ones?

u mean manboobs

How do you know what is “natural” and what is not?
Fruits like banana genetically modified to have its characteristic like almost no seed and soft filling even though it is grown “naturally” now.
There are also fruits like seedless watermelon which are also being genetically modified, would you avoid it as well?
Or even, corn and tomatoes.
GMO is just basically just hybridizing different quality of the plant and make it into a better more sustainable and feasible plant.

Hormone injected and GMO are completely two different things.
One is laced with hormones while the other changes the characteristic of the fruits such as shape, size, hardness of the skin and etc.

If anything GMO is better for the environment and is more cost efficient for us consumers.

Soy Extract means they do not use fresh soy bean, they buy processed concentrate, that is basically what soy extract is. So if you want a good soy product, if you see the ingredient list is Soy Beans, Water and Sugar (if you launch unsweetened soy in Malaysia, no one will buy) and they can give you high protein level (of 5%) then that is a very good product. The cleaner the ingredient list, the better the product.

Thats what you get from weak currency.

you mean the v-soy price will increase more? better buy more to stock up now?

lol, ur money so do whatever u want but don't need to flaunt ur ignorance here tbh.

Do u even understand GMO. GMO is not artificial la

You should ask Lim Guan Eng. He said, GST is the reason why prices go up.

Now that Lim Guan Eng is no longer finance minister. Will we see a price reduction?

I used to drink Yeo Hiap Seng soya bean drink but after drinking V-Soy, i switched to V-Soy which taste much better and with NON-GMO.

I see. Will try to find soy bean after this. Anyway, the one that I bought is not in chilled rack, the one usually expires in a year so that's why they use soy extract I guess.
I bought one soy milk, no sugar added. No wonder still a lot at the shelf

Soy milk mostly produced by using UHT (ultra heat treatment) process, that is why it is an ambient product. Depending on the cooking process and the UHT process, certain soy milk can have 9 months shelve life without having to add preservatives, but that processing equipment is very expensive.

People use soy extract mostly because they do not have beans processing equipment, and they don't want to deal with okara, which again is a cost factor.

Unfortunately so far this brand seems to taste the nicest of all. At least to my taste la

lol so poor can't afford buy soy drink and now asking the other peasants to raise pitchfork

Any recommendation which brand produce without the preservative?

At the moment, there are non in Malaysia, but coming soon end of the year...stay tuned

I've avoided VSoy ori and multigrain coz of its sugar and sweetness. But recently been drinking the new Low Sugar one, i must say its very good, much better.

They added just enough sugar and fats to offset pure soy bitterness and good texture. They also advertise it as barista choice. Makes sense, sweetness and texture on par with milk.

Which company produces V-Soy?

This post has been edited by plouffle0789: Jul 30 2023, 09:22 PM

Thailand company

Soybean prices since pre-COVID

Disagree.
This one got special taste. That's why ppl willing to pay higher price.

Otherwise ppl buy drinkho or yeos.

If you can't afford it, then buy other cheaper alternatives.

No one is forcing you to buy it.

Stop being a sourgrapes.

now also around 55 baht

malaysia how much now?

Because ringgit has depreciated a lot

You want opr naik 2%

Or RM4 V-soy

Make a choice

Most soy beans are imported from Canada and US. So naturally, prices goes up.

Big fan of Barista Soy here..

I make homemade tempeh. Last time canada soy can get 2.50-3.00MYR per kg. Now no more
All after covid16. Fxx them

RM6.90 for barista one.

6.9 is cheap lah, lazada selling around 7.9
