NEW BERLIN, N.Y. — Chobani Greek Yogurt today announced a new line of yogurt
for kids, Chobani Champions. The launch marks the first Greek yogurt in the
United States made exclusively for children’s tastes.
Chobani has combined the nutritional benefits of its Greek yogurt products that
traditionally appeal to adults with kid-pleasing flavors for an all-natural line
of yogurts that are nutritious, delicious and fun to eat. The packages include
games inside the tray for added amusement.
“At Chobani, we’re committed to living the ‘Nothing But Good’ philosophy,” said
Hamdi Ulukaya, CEO and Founder of AgroFarma, Chobani’s parent company. “We take
our role as America’s #1 Greek yogurt brand very seriously and firmly believe
good nutrition begins in childhood. We’re pleased to give parents a healthy
option for children including the fun and tastiness kids enjoy.”
The 2% Chobani Champions line will be sold in 4-oz cups to better accommodate a
child-size appetite. With all of the same nutritional benefits as adult-sized
100% natural Chobani products, each cup of Champions packs in 10% of the daily
calcium requirement with five live and active cultures including three
probiotics and two times more protein than other yogurts providing 34% of the
daily value. Champions will be offered in four delectable flavor combinations,
including StrawNana, VerryBerry and HoneyNana, as well as Chocolate.
Since the company’s debut, Chobani has steadily added to its family of products,
known for its hallmark thick and creamy texture and a wide variety of
palate-pleasing flavors. Other recent new additions include Pomegranate and
Pineapple flavors. Chobani’s Greek strained yogurts are all-natural,
gluten-free, Kosher certified and made with hormone-free milk and real fruit on
the bottom. The brand also offers 0% peach, strawberry, blueberry, vanilla,
honey and plain, as well as 2% plain Greek Yogurt.
Chobani Champions is available in four-pack multi-packs and will retail for
$3.99.
