Farmers Union has revealed the arrival of its Farmers Union PLUS range – a multi-benefit yoghurt containing prebiotics and probiotics, fruit and protein.

Research conducted by Bega uncovered that while Aussie consumers were looking for a yoghurt option with health credentials, they wouldn't compromise on taste.

Bega’s in-house nutritionist Rachael Adams said research had indicated that Australians were seeking products with positive benefits on their gut health, and foods with digestive health benefits.

“Farmers Union’s PLUS directly addresses these need by including both probiotics and prebiotics and provides double digestion benefits. Prebiotics help feed and grow the good bacteria living in our gut, while the probiotic BB-12 helps further support good gut health by increasing regularity,” said Adams.

The range provides eight nutrients including protein and vitamin B12 to provide a range of health benefits, including immune support. 

Farmers Union PLUS is launching in Vanilla & Honey, Mango and Passionfruit flavours and is available at Coles.
