Turtle Mountain LLC

Turtle Mountain LLC is an American food company associated with So Delicious, a brand best known for plant-based alternatives to conventional dairy products. The brand’s range has included frozen desserts and other dairy-alternative foods and beverages, with products made from plant ingredients such as coconut, soy, and cashew. Its offerings are intended for consumers seeking dairy-free options, including people avoiding dairy as well as shoppers choosing plant-based foods. The company was founded in 1987 by Steve Demos. Its So Delicious business developed into a recognizable specialist in dairy-free products, sold through retail grocery channels in the United States and Canada. The brand name is now more prominent to consumers than the corporate name Turtle Mountain LLC. Turtle Mountain became part of WhiteWave Foods in 2014. WhiteWave was subsequently acquired by Danone in 2016, placing the business within Danone’s wider portfolio. So Delicious continues as a commercial brand under Danone’s ownership. The supplied webpage evidence does not verify the company’s current legal structure, headquarters, or product range; it points to a Canadian prepared-foods site rather than the So Delicious website.
