Many years ago, a reader named Kathleen from British Columbia emailed to tell us about Soyatoo Whipped Topping. She searched for a whipped cream that her milk allergic daughter could enjoy, and she discovered one grocer that had just begun stocking Soyatoo.
Soyatoo is made by a German company called Tofutown. It’s still available in North America, but it isn’t easy to find. In fact, I randomly stumble upon it every few years at some grocery store, but it seems to move around. It’s sold refrigerated, and usually tucked away on a high shelf. Just keep your eyes open and you might spot it! Or you can usually order it only.
Soyatoo Whipped Topping in Soy Whip and Soy-Free Rice Whip
Soyatoo comes in two forms, in a ready-to-use spray canister and in a whippable carton. In North America, you will mostly see the spray canister, but in Europe they sell all varieties. Even the spray canisters have rare sightings in U.S. grocery stores, but you can order it online (see below).
Soy Whip

You CAN Get It All Out, (Hint: Read the instructions)
I’ve used this product for over a decade, and am usually able to finish the can, if I share it with enough people. Otherwise it will expire (by date) after six months. The negative reviews here talk about running out of can pressure or the like. There are two tricks to this. First, read the damn instructions (take out of fridge for 20 minutes, shake can held in regular (top-pointed up) alignment, then turn it upside down and shake downward ONCE. NOW squirt it all you want. Repeat this process each time you want to use it). Secondly, when you’re done with it, there is some of the whipped cream left in the nozzle. Rinse this out with some warm water, shake it dry, dry the top with a paper towel and put it away. If you don’t do this then the nozzle might be blocked by a crust of dry foam, and you don’t get any more out.
Tastes ok but....
It would have gotten a least a three if the aerosole didn’t run out before the can was less than have used. so annoying to shake the can and for it to be almost full and nothing possibly coming out because the aerosole is finished! and for those who think I may have used it wrong… NOPE
Rice Whip – One Shot and You are Done
I read the reviews on the Rice Whip and a lot of them said the contents would not come out of the can after a use or two. The reviews were kind of old so I figured they must of fixed the problem by now so I bought a can. Got one serving out of it and it stopped working. What little I had I tasted pretty good but I am left with an almost full can and can’t get any more out. Won’t buy this product again.
Barely comes out of can
I let it sit out of frig for over 20 minutes and it still barely comes out of can not to mention the tip falls off.
So happy I found this
I have to say that if you are looking for dairy free whip cream that will last and tastes good try Soyatoo, it is fabulous.

I just purchased the Soya Too whip topping and was surprised to see on the back that it “may contain traces on milk”! Have you had any issues? I emailed the company, but don’t want to give it to my allergic son without further research. Thanks!
Hi Leah,
Unfortunately a lot of dairy-free alternatives, let alone other products, have that claim as they are often made or packaged in the same facility as their dairy-laden cousins (due to similar packaging processes). However, usually there are protocols in place to prevent cross-contamination with dairy alternatives, but they include the disclaimer just in case. Check with the company to make sure you are comfortable with the product and processes. I do know of milk allergy moms who do buy that product.
