Leche Pascual looks set for conflict once again with its main
rivals after participating in a study designed to compare the
benefits of pasteurised and natural yoghurts.
Modern consumers are increasingly demanding products which offer
both health benefits and convenience, and food manufacturers have
been quick to respond with a variety of dairy products.
Latest research into the beneficial impact of peptides in fermented
milk might have on lowering consumer's blood pressure brings good
news for manufacturers of drinking yoghurts.
Arla Foods has launched two new flavours for its Yoggi Yalla
yoghurt drink, the leader of the fast-growing Swedish market. But
the company also faces a lawsuit over its delay in marketing
products containing the sweetener tagatose.
Danone might have failed to prevent Leche Pascual calling its
long-life desserts 'yoghurts' but the French group has successfully
prevented the company from registering with the Spanish yoghurt
producers' association...
French food giant Danone is believed to be interested in St Ivel,
the yoghurts division of the UK food group Uniq (formerly Unigate),
reports French financial paper Les Echos.
