Best plant-based milk during the diet? Plant-based product and the associated milk variant contain different retinol contents..??

I would like to add almond milk or coconut/-rice milk to the diet for cereal.
What I find strange. When I look at the nutritional values for almonds and coconut for example, it say it contains none retinol. But when I look at the milk variant, it says it contains retinol. Don't make sense...So does that mean that was added specifically to the milk types examined? Because the organic almond milk in Germany does not add anything, so I ask myself, although it says with American nutritional information that it contains retinol that my variant don't contain any retinol.
Or does someone have a tip? What do you think is the best plant-based milk with the least vitamin A content and gluten-free /soy-free?

@joel coconut products will be ok if they are not fortified. But stay away from almonds. Full of antinutrients...

I once talked with a representative over email about whether there was VA added to the coconut milks of "so delicious" (a brand here). The info I got was a bit unclear. It appears to me, though I still don't know for sure, that their coconut MILK replacement product DOES contain added VA (probably to comply with some law), but it still isn't clear to me that their coconut CREAM replacement product has it. But yet I don't know for sure.
I use skim raw goat milk right now. I drink about a half gallon per week, a little in coffee here, a little on oatmeal there.
A person can make their own milk replacement product, I suppose! I've seen recipes. Maybe I'd go for rice.
I don't think they add anything to plain old cans of coconut milk, but then you have the can issues and the separation issues.

@jiri I answer the fatty acid - testosterone thing here.
It doesn't have to be olive oil, does it?
I still have very high quality combination oil from chia-walnut-linseed oil and sunflowers-thistle and linseed oil. If I only take a teaspoon, I can take it as well, right? Doesn't contain more vitamin A, like olive oil..even less.

Eating oils full of very easily oxidized PUFA fatty acids is very bad idea. It is not about vit A content. You don't want to consume any pufa oils period. Only saturated or monounsaturated fats. Ideally we shoudn't consume any oils at all and cosume fats only in whole food form. Eating some nuts and seeds is ok. For example sunflower seeds. But when you make oil from it it is the worst type of oil you can eat... PUFA and it doesn't matter if it is omega 3 or 6 are with vit A the most damaging things in "healthy" foods that people eat..

I drink gallons of organic raw almond milk each month, I love it and it's really healthy. The almond milk I buy is made from half sprouted almonds. I have it with organic wheat cereal or I drink it on its own. It has no vA added.
It seems to mostly be the USA that is crazy about fortifying food with vA when there is no scientific basis.

@tim-2
So am I right that normal almond milk does not contain vitamin A despite the nutritional information or these rely on American almond milk types that have added it synthetically? I was really surprised that almond does not contain vitamin A, but the milk variant does

@jiri I was considering taking this oil, or I still have a few bottles here. I thought that due to the special production it may contain less PUFA : https://www.rapunzel.de/bio-produkt-oxyguard-chia-omega-power--1001985.html

That sounds like a really neat product that Tim is getting. I suppose it could be made at home.
