Japanese fermented milk producer Yakult has expanded its portfolio with the introduction of Yakult Plus Peach.

The new drink features a juicy peach flavour and contains billions of L.casei Shirota bacteria that support gut health. It is rich in vitamin C for immunity and reduced fatigue and includes fibre for gut bacteria.

Yakult Plus Peach is fat- and gluten-free, suitable for vegetarians and contains lower calories and sugar.

Hiroaki Yoshimura, MD for Yakult UK & Ireland, commented: “At Yakult, we are dedicated to advancing the health and happiness of our customers through scientifically-backed products that taste great. We invest in flavour exploration because we know that taste is an increasingly important driver of purchase in our category."

Yakult Plus Peach will be available on Ocado and in independent UK retailers for £3.70, with prices varying by retailer.
