Swiss dairy company Emmi has launched a new line of protein-rich probiotics yogurts for the domestic market.
Emmi YoQua contains 8% protein with only 2% fat, “making it a perfect mid-morning or mid-afternoon snack,” the Lucerne-based company says. It will be made available by retailers in Switzerland this week in four distinct flavours: original, blueberry, raspberry and peach.
It is being introduced as a response to the global trend for protein and was designed to eliminate so-called hunger pangs.
An Emmi spokesperson said: “Proteins are key building blocks in the body. They are required for the proper functioning of the entire body. Proteins carry out very different tasks, which are vital for the organism; they are components in muscles, the immune system, hormones and metabolism.
“A balanced diet is important, but a snack should also taste good. Emmi therefore implemented a procedure for Emmi YoQua which generates the additional protein exclusively from extra milk. Despite containing only 2 % fat, with 8-10 % protein, Emmi YoQua has a pleasant, creamy consistency… The high fruit content of 8-10 % means that Emmi YoQua shines with an uncompromising full-bodied taste.”
