The isoflavonoids, equol, formononetin, daidzein, genistein, biochanin A, and O‐ demethylangolensin ( O ‐DMA), were analyzed from commercial cartons of skimmed Finnish milk by HPLC‐diode array detector (DAD)‐FL. We found 411 ± 65 ng/mL of equol and traces of formononetin and daidzein in organic skimmed milk whereas conventionally produced milk contained 62 ± 16 ng/mL of equol and no formononetin or daidzein.
