Lactalis Canada has entered the frozen yogurt category through a new licensing agreement with Nestlé Canada.

The collaboration will see the launch of eight iÖGO-branded frozen yogurt SKUs, including four bars (strawberry-cheesecake, raspberry-chocolate, cherry swirl and blueberry swirl) and four tubs (vanilla, strawberry swirl, cherry swirl and blueberry swirl).

Additionally, three frozen yogurt pops will be introduced under the iÖGO nanö line in strawberry-banana, peach and mixed berry flavours.

The products are made with real fruit and 100% Canadian milk and carry the Dairy Farmers of Canada Blue Cow logo, aligning with both companies’ focus on Canadian-made offerings.

Adrienne Pagot-Gérault, GM of yogurt and cultured division at Lactalis Canada, said: “Proudly made in Canada and leveraging the popularity of the iÖGO brand, we are thrilled to be expanding into the frozen category in collaboration with Nestlé Canada".

"As we welcome the warmer weather, we’re excited to introduce Canadians to these new iÖGO and iÖGO nanö frozen yogurt products which combine the indulgence of a frozen treat with the nutritional value, quality and fun synonymous with iÖGO yogurt.”

Paul de Larzac, president, ice cream at Nestlé Canada, added: "We are excited to partner with Lactalis Canada to bring innovative and delicious frozen yogurt options to the Canadian market".

"Combining the trusted quality of Nestlé Canada with the innovative spirit and popularity of the leading iÖGO brand, we look forward to offering consumers a refreshing new way to enjoy their Canadian-made favourite yogurt flavours this summer."

The new range are available at most major retailers across the country.
