Recently we were asked about the phosphorus content of plant milks that contain vitamin B12. To answer this question, we reviewed nutrition information on product websites and product packages and contacted companies. In many instances, companies responded that since the FDA does not require companies to declare the phosphorus content on the package, they have not determined the amount of phosphorus in their products.
Here are the original and unsweetened plant milks that contain vitamin B12 and for which we could get information about their phosphorus content.
