Glenilen Farm kids yoghurt pouches are designed to take the mess out of enjoying yoghurts on-the-go

Glenilen Farm has become the first Irish-owned company to introduce yoghurt pouches to the market. The family-owned west Cork food producer has launched a convenient and multifunctional range of yoghurt pouches for children.

The kids yoghurt pouches are designed to take the mess out of enjoying yoghurts on the go. They’re packed with gut-friendly cultures and are available in vanilla and strawberry 90g pouches.

“We are really excited about our new kids yoghurt pouches,” said co-founder Valerie Kingston. “The pouch means it’s easier to enjoy on the go without the need for a spoon. It has a resealable cap which also helps to cut down on any unnecessary food waste. Our team is constantly looking at ways to innovate using simple, natural ingredients and our new range is backed up by research into what consumers want.”

The new products are now available in supermarkets across the island of Ireland. The launch will be supported by a 360-marketing campaign centred around the theme “Gut to Go” highlighting both the functional and nutritional benefits of the yoghurt range.
