Lactalis Canada has entered the frozen yogurt category through a new licensing deal with Nestlé Canada.
The partnership will introduce eight iÖGO-branded frozen yogurt SKUs, four bars (strawberry-cheesecake, raspberry-chocolate, cherry swirl, and blueberry swirl), and four tubs (vanilla, strawberry swirl, cherry swirl, and blueberry swirl).
Three frozen yogurt pops will also be launched under the iÖGO nanö line in strawberry-banana, peach and mixed berry flavours.
The foods are crafted with actual fruit and 100% Canadian milk and have the Dairy Farmers of Canada Blue Cow logo, both matching the companies' emphasis on Canadian-made products.
As per coherent market insights, the yogurt industry is expected to grow at a CAGR rate of 5.5% over the forecast period 2025-2032. The market is expected to increase to USD 127.87 Mn in 2025 and is expected to increase to USD 186.13 Mn in 2032. Industry size is being driven by rising health awareness among consumers, increasing disposable income, and increasing probiotic yogurt products.
Adrienne Pagot-Gérault, Lactalis Canada's GM of yogurt and cultured division, stated: "Proudly made in Canada and capitalizing on the iÖGO brand popularity, we are excited to be growing in the frozen category in partnership with Nestlé Canada".
"As we usher in the warmer season, we're pleased to invite Canadians to experience these new iÖGO and iÖGO nanö frozen yogurt offerings which blend the luxury of a frozen dessert with the nutrition, quality, and playfulness associated with iÖGO yogurt.
Paul de Larzac, president, ice cream at Nestlé Canada, further said: "We are pleased to partner with Lactalis Canada to introduce innovative and tasty frozen yogurt to the Canadian consumer."
"By blending the brand reputation of quality Nestlé Canada with the creative approach and popularity of the popular iÖGO brand, we are eager to present Canadian consumers with a cool new way of consuming their favorite Canadian-made yogurt flavors this summer."
The new range is available at most major retailers across the country.
