It looks like Coca-Cola has figured out what it wants to do with milk, and it's not Choglit. Coke now says it will introduce a product called Swerve that's 50% milk, and low in fat with 150 calories per can. With flavors like chocolate, vanilla/banana, and blueberry Swerve is certainly targeted at kids, and it's expected to be available for vending machines as those kids return to school in the fall. Coke's scrapping it's test brands, Choglit and Slap. Byrne Dairy Inc., Syracuse, N.Y., may also be looking to sell more dairy beverages to kids. The company is breaking ground this month on a 31,000 sq. ft. UHT plant in Syracuse. Saputo Cheese USA Inc., has entered into an agreement with Western Marketing & Sales, LLC to form Gallo Protein 2003.
