Swiss dairy group Emmi has launched a range of products targeted at consumers wanting healthier options.

Emmi has introduced Emmi Good Day, a portfolio of lines with less fat and sugar and more protein. The products, which include milk and yoghurt, are also lactose-free.

“In recent years, food-conscious consumers have made up an increasingly large segment of the population as a whole and of the dairy product sector. Consumers are more conscious of what they eat today, and are choosing foods that don’t just taste good but are also healthy,” Emmi said. “Yesterday it was light products, followed by vitamin-enriched products, that were in vogue. Today it’s mainly dairy products that are low in sugar, low in fat and higher in protein. Growing numbers of consumers have to be particuarly aware of their tolerance of dairy products, which is closely linked to lactose or gluten content.”

Products including pasteurised and UHT milk, yoghurt drinks and cereal yoghurt are on sale at Swiss retailers.
