Danone Canada Launches Third Yogurt Co-Branded With MEG-3

Canada - Ocean Nutrition Canada Limited (ONC), supplier of MEG-3 brand Omega-3 EPA/DHA food and dietary supplement ingredients, announced that Danone Canada Inc has expanded their Danino line to include a drinkable yogurt, Danino Drinkable, containing the MEG-3 healthy food ingredient. This is the third yogurt product Danone has launched containing MEG-3. As with the initial Danino yogurt, the MEG-3 logo will be placed on the front of the packaging to show customers it contains the purest, safest source of Omega-3 from fish oil.

Each 93 ml bottle of Danino Drinkable contains 20 mg of MEG-3 DHA Omega-3 and is available in four flavours: Banana, Strawberry, Raspberry and Strawberry-Banana. This new product was launched July 16 and is available in major grocery stores throughout Canada.

Ian Lucas, Executive Vice President of Global Sales and Marketing with ONC, said, "Studies have shown that DHA, an Omega-3, supports the normal development of the brain, the eyes, and the nerves. Our patented Powder-loc technology has made it possible for us to provide companies, such as Danone, with a means to offer their customers a convenient way to contribute to their Omega-3 intake with the same great taste consumers expect from leading food brands like Danone Danino yogurt. Danone's new Danino Drinkable yogurt is an easy way and fun way for parents to help their children contribute to their daily intake of Omega-3."
