The product is the “first-ever fat-free cholesterol-lowering yoghurt”, McNeil said. They are available in strawberry, black cherry, rhubarb and peach flavours.

McNeil has also developed a layered Benecol yoghurt, made with a raspberry compote and topped with yoghurt.

Both products have an RRP of GBP2.39 (US$3.75) for a pack of four and are available from Tesco, Morrisons, Ocado and Waitrose. There are plans to widen the roll-out to other retailers later this year.

A spokesperson said: “Benecol yoghurts will be a key driver in growing the healthy yoghurts category.”
