Lactalis USA launches :ratio Pro-Fiber yogurt

USA – Lactalis USA, through its brand Pro-Fiber, has introduced its first-of-its-kind functional dairy snack, formulated to deliver a GLP-1-Friendly option that provides nutrition benefits consumers seek.

With 20 grams of protein, 10 grams of fiber, and zero grams of added sugar, the ratio Pro-Fiber delivers the balance modern wellness calls for in every creamy cup — without compromising on taste.

As interest in nutrient-rich foods continues to grow, protein and fiber remain top priorities for many consumers.

Yet, 93 percent of Americans don’t get enough fiber, creating a critical gap in even the most “high-protein” diets. : ratio Pro-Fiber bridges that gap, combining high-quality protein and fiber in one smooth, creamy cup.

“Consumers today are looking for foods that do more and deliver benefits they really need,” said Kerry DeLaney, chief executive officer of Midwest Yogurt, a division of Lactalis USA.

“Whether you’re looking to amp up your protein intake or are part of the growing GLP-1 community looking for convenient, nutrient-rich snacks, :ratio Pro-Fiber offers a convenient way to stay on track.”

From classic Vanilla and vibrant Blueberry to dessert-inspired Lemon Meringue and tropical Piña Colada, each flavor delivers a rich and creamy taste with a real functional payoff.

Providing as much fiber as two and a half cups of cooked oatmeal and three times the protein of an egg, :ratio Pro-Fiber is an excellent source of protein, fiber and key nutrients like calcium and vitamin B12.

“Protein and fiber are two of the most top of mind nutritional macros for consumers,” said Shea Allred, head of North America sales at Midwest Yogurt, “with :ratio Pro-Fiber able to deliver on both, we’re seeing lots of excitement from retailers.”
