Tools for Innovation: Dairy Foods and Probiotics: A Perfect Opportunity
Think of a breakfast yogurt loaded with good-for-you ingredients that primes the body to take on the day. What about a cultured smoothie to take you
from lunch to dinner and helps support the health of your gut? And for nighttime, a fermented milk with ingredients that may relax the mind and at the
same time help recharge your insides so you can manage another day of life's stresses?
Such cultured dairy products are already available in Europe and Asia, where consumers are quite in tune with intestinal health and dietary means for
enhancing well being. This trend is catching on in the United States, providing an opportunity for dairy processors to explore an area where few in the
United States, to date, have dared to go.
