“Consumers are continually looking for new and different ways to enjoy the refreshing goodness of yogurt,” says Rachel Ringel, associate marketing manager, Yoplait Simplait. “There has been an increasing demand for simpler ingredient lists, but one thing remains constant – taste is the most important.”
