According to the Natural Marketing Institute, 71% of consumers want all natural ingredients in their yogurt.[1] To help operators meet patrons’ demand for transparency and cleaner labels in the food they eat, Dannon® Foodservice is introducing three transformed product lines: Light & Fit® Nonfat Yogurt, Oikos® Greek Nonfat Yogurt and Dannon® Yogurt Made with Whole Milk. In sync with Dannon’s mission to bring health through food to as many people as possible, the new products appeal to consumers seeking protein, less sugar** and recognizable ingredients.
