Thanks

Hi Antonio,

Alba also makes powdered milk.

I had to track this one through a tangled maze of corporate mergers and stock acquisitions. Until 1997, Alba was owned by Heinz (the ketchup people). In 1997, Alba was bought by the Hain Food Group, makers of natural foods and Celestial Seasonings teas. Then, in 1999, Heinz purchased a major share of Hain Foods.

Anyhow, Hain Foods is who you want to contact. Alba 77 shakes are still an active product, as far as I can tell. You can buy them online here:

Thanks a lot. So is it the same as the nestle coffee mate sugar free they sell al all supermarkets? It feels that it would be the same thing???

No problem.

It's a low calorie, low fat, high calcium, diet shake mix. The precursor to Slim Fast.

Oh yeah, it's sugar free, so it could be similar to the nestle product.

I thought it got something to do with Jessica Alba! What a ripoff!!!

Anwyay I havent tried this. I just use skim milk with Splenda for my shaking needs.
