NEW YORK —WhiteWave Foods says it will remove an ingredient from organic Horizon milks and Silk beverages in response to customer feedback.

The ingredient has been the subject of criticism in some circles, with food advocates pointing to animal studies that suggest it causes gastrointestinal inflammation and other problems.
