True Dairy Flavors, Hudson, Ohio, introduced flavored milk powder mixes in packets. The mixes are sold in three flavors: banana cream, cotton candy and orange dreamsicle.

International Delight’s Simply Pure, owned by Danone’s WhiteWave Foods, Broomfield, Colo., added a new flavor, Sweet & Creamy, to its clean-label coffee creamer line.

Uncommon Coffee Roasters, Douglas, Mich., makes ready-to-drink cold brew coffee in three flavors: original, half & half and chocolate milk.

With so many choices of milk, how do dairy brands get noticed and into consumers’ shopping carts? Packaging executive Chris Gretchko explains.

it seemed like any other day in the school cafeteria – except for one small change. Instead of the usual gable-top milk packages, students at 18 Colorado elementary and middle schools were offered white and chocolate milk in aseptic packaging during the 2015-2016 school year. The response from students was enthusiastic.

Education, and the ability of students to learn and improve their lot in life, is part of the bedrock known as the American Dream. A growing body of evidence suggests that academic and lifelong success can be negatively impacted — not by lack of innate ability or failure to hit the books but by inadequate intake of nutritious foods.

Though sales are down for the overall milk category, there is still promise thanks to flavored milks and whole milk — both of these segments saw unit-sale increases.
