Arla Foods Ingredients launches first clean-label ambient yogurt concept to meet Chinese tastes

摘要

Arla Foods Ingredients has launched a clean-label concept to help brands meet growing demand for ambient yogurt in China. The new solution is the first of its kind. It uses Nutrilac® YO-4575, a 100% natural whey protein, to give unrefrigerated yogurts a premium positioning with all-natural ingredients. Nutrilac® YO-4575 is unique due to its heat-stability and texturizing properties. It keeps ambient products smooth and stable throughout shelf life without the need for additives or preservatives. Yogurt sales are growing faster in China than anywhere else in the world, with ambient yogurt the fastest growing segment in the country's liquid dairy market. The category, which accounted for almost 30% of China's entire yogurt market in 20191 has seen a significantly higher growth rate than either chilled yogurts or liquid milks2.
