Today’s consumers want healthier and responsibly produced food and drinks.

We continuously develop our products - taking into account current scientific findings and the expectations of our consumers and other stakeholders.
DANONE ESSENTIAL DAIRY AND PLANT-BASED
We offer fresh dairy products as well as plant-based products and beverages, two distinct but complementary pillars. We have set ourselves the goal of promoting and further developing plant-based products worldwide. Started in 1919 with the creation of the first yogurt in a pharmacy in Barcelona, fresh dairy products (notably yogurt) is Danone’s original business.
Building on this, we expanded our product range by acquiring WhiteWave/Alpro in April 2017: Plant-based beverages made from soy, almonds, coconuts, rice, oats and plant-based alternatives to yogurt and cream (cooked products) have since been part of our rich portfolio. Due to the expanded portfolio, we can meet both the growing demand for plant-based products and the needs of flexitarians.
We have focused our research on the areas of milk, ferments and probiotics. We can now draw on this expertise in both milk fermentation and plant-based innovations. We use our knowledge to continuously optimize and expand our portfolio. To learn more about our essential dairy and plant-based products, click here.
