The Yoplait Petits Filous and Frubes kids yogurt products have introduced a new lower sugar formulation in a bid to help the brand shift towards a more health-conscious ethos. The products will now feature 25% less sugar without compromising on flavor to make them well-suited for parents to pick up for their little ones in the UK. The products will now contribute to 4.5% of the daily sugar intake recommendations for children aged four to 10 to make them a well-balanced addition to a child's diet.
General Manager Antoine Hours spoke on the updated Yoplait Petits Filous and Frubes kids yogurt products saying, "Petits Filous and Frubes are well-established and much-loved brands so it’s critical we take a gradual approach to our sugar reduction, and we have done so without resorting to adding thickeners, sweeteners, processed fibres or flavours, but our Mission is also to educate about the nutritional value of fortified kids’ yoghurts and bring lost consumers back into the category."
