Nounós Creamery unveils new Greek-style probiotic strained yogurt

Dairy chooses Greiner Packaging’s sustainable K3 cup.

West Babylon, N.Y.-based Nounós Creamery’s new probiotic strained yogurt is naturally packed with protein and billions of probiotics, including BB-12. Available in Classic Plain and Vanilla Bean flavors, the new yogurt uses only natural, non-GMO ingredients, it is hormone and antibiotic-free, gluten and rBST free, with no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

Sustainability is another cornerstone of the Nounós brand. This move aligns with the growing consumer demand for sustainable products and showcases Nounós' dedication to not just the quality of their yogurt, but also to the health of the planet. Nounós not only elevates the consumer experience but also contributes to a larger movement toward sustainability in the food industry, setting a powerful example for others to follow.

The cardboard wrap on Greiner Packaging’s K3 cardboard-plastic combination provides stability, so the cup can be produced with particularly thin walls. By using less plastic than other solutions, it delivers a reduced CO2 footprint, the company said. The cup and wrap can be easily separated – which is important for recyclability. As the cup is always white or transparent, it produces high quality recyclates which are not contaminated by any inks.

“Right from the start, we chose to pack our single-serve naturally authentic yogurt in sustainable glass pots, which are loved by our consumers,” said John Belesis, co-founder of Nounós Creamery. “For the new launch of our 16-oz. probiotic strained yogurt, we have chosen Greiner Packaging’s sustainable K3 cardboard-plastic combination.”

“We wanted to add a probiotic variant and at the same time be able to offer a more accessible price point, while competing with other larger yogurt tubs commonly available in most retail locations. Choosing reclosable K3 was a major factor in the development of this new two-flavor range, as its 100% recyclability and premium look and feel fit so well with our and our consumers’ values," he added.
