The drink is crafted without any colorings in the recipe and will start arriving in stores starting on August 23, 2021 in four packs priced at £2.
Head of Marketing, Yogurt (Northern Europe) at General Mills Joanna Goodman spoke further on Yop Chocolate saying, "At Yop, teens love our nutritious and tasty fruit flavours as the ideal snack or lunchbox addition, so we’re confident they’ll enjoy our new, more indulgent chocolate variant. Yop sales have increased by 12.6%, boosting household penetration by 72.6%, and we’re confident that there is a huge opportunity in the months ahead for dairy drinks, both at home or whilst on the move as the on-the-go market starts to recover."
