Brookside Dairy introduces two new probiotic yoghurt flavours

KENYA – Brookside Dairy has introduced two new flavours under its Brookside Plus probiotic yoghurt range, expanding its portfolio of functional dairy products designed to support digestive health and wellbeing.

The new flavours, Flaxseed and Marzipan, containing omega-3, and the Apple Cinnamon Chia, containing fibre, targets consumers seeking dairy products with additional nutritional benefits.

The company markets the new products under the Brookside Plus Probiotic Yoghurt brand, highlighting their potential role in improving digestion and supporting overall wellbeing.

The launch reflects the growing interest in functional dairy products that combine traditional nutrition with ingredients associated with digestive health.

Brookside Dairy has built a portfolio of strong brands that cater to different consumer segments across East Africa.

Its flagship Brookside brand remains central, offering a wide range of dairy staples including fresh milk, long-life milk, flavored milk, yogurt, butter, ghee, and cream.

The brand is widely recognized for its consistency and broad appeal, making it a household name in Kenya and beyond.

The “Dairybest” long-life milk is especially popular in Kenya for its convenience, as it requires no refrigeration while maintaining wholesome dairy goodness.

On the other hand, Ilara has established itself as Brookside’s mass-market brand, delivering affordable milk and yogurt options that broaden the company’s reach across diverse socioeconomic groups.

In 2017, the company expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of Delamere, a premium brand known for its yogurt, flavored milk, and cheese and retained the Delamere label for its colonial/heritage positioning and established consumer recognition in the yoghurt segment.

Beyond Kenya, Dairy Fresh plays an important role in Brookside’s regional strategy. Distributed primarily in Uganda and Tanzania, Dairy Fresh focuses on milk and yogurt products tailored to regional preferences, ensuring the company’s competitiveness in neighboring markets.

Dairyfresh range also includes several flavors targeted at children and families who enjoy tasty, nutritious dairy snacks. These come in six flavours, including strawberry, chocolate, and banana, and are available in 250ml and 6-pack cartons.

The company distributed US$1.97 million (KES255 million) incentive payout to thousands of farmers across the country, for the period between December 1, 2025, and May 30, 2026, rewarding them for consistent milk deliveries as the industry intensifies efforts to enhance product quality and strengthen supply chains.
