Look at the website of Activia, a brand of Broomfield, Colo.- and White Plains, N.Y.-based Danone North America, and you might assume you’ve searched for wellness advice. The page features a tab for health professionals, as well as ones saying “What is gut health?” and “What are probiotics?”
Unlike other yogurt brands that might focus on their quirky flavor offerings or kid-friendly formats, Activia is all about the gut. The brand’s product lines boast probiotics and gut-health benefits with the idea that food can do something for you beyond merely provide calories.
