Greek-style yogurt is one of the bright spots in today’s dairy case with sales in the United States outpacing those of traditional yogurt, and now focusing international attention on how this consumer-driven phenomenon will be replicated globally. Greek yogurt captured 35 percent of U.S. yogurt category sales in 2012 after accounting for only 1 percent in 2007 (Nielsen ).
To give dairy manufacturers a simpler, more efficient and consistent way to culture America’s best-selling yogurt, DuPont Nutrition & Health is introducing YO-MIX® Greek — a five- species yogurt culture blend from the DuPont™ Danisco® range. By offering all five species in one blend, DuPont strives to ensure consistency of culture delivery and to eliminate plant mixing and measuring of starters.
