The vibrant flavors of real fruit, delicious without artificial sweeteners or unrecognizable additives, served as the foundation for the new yogurts, which let the simple ingredients shine. Now available in thousands of grocery locations nationwide, these new yogurts are unlike others in the category. They are an exciting addition to the current Evolution Fresh family of cold-pressed ready-to-drink juices and smoothies and represent the next step in the Evolution Fresh and Dannon collaboration which began with the launch of yogurt parfaits and handcrafted smoothies in Starbucks^® stores this spring.

“Consumers seek foods that contain more recognizable ingredients and also fewer of them,” said Jeffery Rothman, vice president of Marketing & Innovation for Dannon. “The new Evolution Fresh Fruit on the Bottom Greek Yogurts are made with no artificial flavors, sweeteners or preservatives and include simple ingredients such as nonfat milk and fruit lightly sweetened with agave.”

“Starbucks customer response to the Evolution Fresh Greek Yogurt Parfaits, Inspired by Dannon, in our retail stores have been very positive,” said Jeff Hansberry, president Evolution Fresh. “Now, with our new line available at grocery stores, shoppers can stock their own refrigerators with our delicious, wholesome yogurt.”

The new grocery products are the result of Evolution Fresh and Dannon’s continued collaboration to make delicious and simply designed yogurts more widely accessible. The two companies worked together to create a proprietary high-quality Greek nonfat yogurt that is the perfect canvas to let real fruit shine through without any added flavors, artificial sweeteners or preservatives. Evolution Fresh™ Fruit on the Bottom Greek Yogurts, Inspired by Dannon, are made with easily recognizable ingredients that consumers can feel good about. Each 5.3 oz. single-serve yogurt contains active yogurt cultures, at least 11 grams of protein and only 120 calories. The four varieties include:

• Blueberry Greek Nonfat Yogurt: Mild, creamy yogurt paired with sweet blueberries
• Black Cherry Greek Nonfat Yogurt: Mild, creamy yogurt with chunks of rich black cherry
• Raspberry Blackberry Greek Nonfat Yogurt: Mild, creamy yogurt over tart raspberries paired with juicy blackberries
• Pineapple Passion Fruit Greek Nonfat Yogurt: Mild, creamy yogurt with tropical pineapple chunks and passion fruit juice

The yogurts are available now at grocery stores nationwide with a suggested retail price of $1.69 per single-serve cup. A new digital advertising campaign will launch in July to support the new range of yogurts. For more information and nutritional information, visit http://www.evolutionfresh.com/yogurt
