In Washington, D.C., The Dannon Company has met and in some cases surpassed its commitment to the Partnership for a Healthier America. Dannon exceeded the sugar and fat reduction and improved nutrient density goals for its overall portfolio, while meeting the target of reducing total sugar in all of its children’s products.
Dannon improved nutrient density by 10.06 percent across its portfolio by increasing protein, fiber and vitamin D. Dannon also reduced the amount of fat across its portfolio by 87 percent and reduced total sugar amounts to 23 grams or less per 6-ounce serving in 100 percent of children’s products and 78 percent of the company’s overall products.
Dannon achieved these goals by reformulating some of its most popular products like Danimals Smoothies and by introducing new ones like its popular Oikos Triple Zero Greek nonfat yogurt – containing zero added sugars, zero artificial sweeteners and zero fat per serving.
