Germantown, Wis.-based Gehl Foods Inc., brings new opportunities to the alternative beverage (ambient) aisle with the introduction of Main St. Café Protein Smoothies.
There’s an old saying, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.” Emerging research confirms that a hearty breakfast with ample protein may indeed be the most important meal of the day, but many Americans either skip breakfast or eat a hasty breakfast that’s low in protein. Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicate that Americans typically consume 15% of their daily protein at breakfast.
In May, Danone’s German division switched to a plastic made from plants (not oil) for its Activia yogurt packaging sold in Germany. The new yogurt pack uses a corn-based plastic called Ingeo from NatureWorks, Minnetonka, Minn. Vermont-based Stonyfield Farm converted its four-pack multicups to the same material in October 2010 (see Dairy Foods, November 2010).
Thanks to a host of all-natural products and a mission to remain authentic, Fage takes charge of the Greek yogurt category by just being true to itself and to its consumers.<
