US dairy brand Chobani is expanding its portfolio with two new milk releases – Ultra-Filtered Milk and Half & Half.

Chobani Ultra-Filtered Milk is a lactose-free and protein-packed ultra-filtered milk. According to the brand, it also has half the sugar and 2.5x more protein than traditional milk. The milk is available in Whole, Reduced Fat 2%, Fat Free and Chocolate variations. Chobani Half & Half Plain is available in both Plain and Lactose-Free options. The product is made from farm-fresh milk and cream. Peter McGuinness, Chobani president and chief operating officer, said: "With our lactose-free, reduced sugar and protein-packed Chobani Ultra-Filtered Milk, we’re making dairy accessible to more people and giving consumers a great option to trade up to a more advanced, functional and delicious product. We’ve seen incredible consumer love for our coffee creamers and they asked us to bring the same craft and quality to dairy-based half and half while offering a lactose-free option as well". Both new releases are made from locally sourced milk. They are available nationwide across the US.
