Soy milk is calcium fortified by adding to the soy milk a polyphosphate and a human consumptible calcium source. The polyphosphate acts as a chelting agent for the calcium source while promoting microbial stability of the milk. The polyphosphate enables the calcium to be added in amounts such that the resulting product has calcium levels equal to or greater than that found in cow\s milk.

A method of manufacturing fortified soy milk comprising the steps of: (a) first, adding to a soy milk an amount of an alkali metal polyphosphate salt effective to directly suppress aggregation between soy milk constituents and added calcium ions; (b) adding an amount of a human consumable calcium source between about 0.2 grams and about 0.75 grams calcium source per 100 mls. of soy milk concurrently with or after the adding of the alkali metal polyphosphate salt, wherein the calcium source is in a soluble form in the presence of the alkali metal polyphosphate salt and provides a calcium level substantially greater than cow\s milk; (c) sterilizing or pasteurizing the soy milk containing the alkali metal polyphosphate salt and the calcium source; and (d) cooling the pasteurized or sterilized soy milk to refrigeration temperatures, wherein calcium in the calcium source remains dissolved in the soy milk.
