Canadian Dairy Leader Lactalis Canada Unveils Groundbreaking Yogurt Innovation
In a significant development for the Canadian dairy industry, Lactalis Canada has announced the launch of iÖGO nanö Bubbles, a revolutionary yogurt product that introduces a playful, mouth-bursting bubble texture to the kids' snack category. This first-of-its-kind offering represents a major innovation in yogurt consumption experiences, particularly targeting children aged 6-12.
A New Sensory Experience in Yogurt
The iÖGO nanö Bubbles product features a unique creamy yogurt base infused with distinctive bubble-style textures that create what the company describes as a "playful mouth bursting" sensation. This innovative approach to yogurt texture draws inspiration from the growing popularity of bubble tea and similar textured foods among younger Canadian consumers, including both children and their parents.
"There's something fun and joyful about a spoonful of juicy flavours exploding in your mouth," said Adrienne Pagot-Gérault, General Manager of the Yogurt & Cultured Division at Lactalis Canada. "We are excited to bring Canadians this completely new way of enjoying yogurt with the launch of iÖGO nanö Bubbles."
Nutritional Profile and Ingredients
The product maintains the high-quality standards associated with the iÖGO brand while introducing this novel texture experience. Key product features include:
- Made with 100% Canadian milk
- Contains real fruit ingredients
- No artificial colours, flavours, or sweeteners
- Provides a source of Vitamin D and Calcium
- Packaged in convenient 100g cups
Three distinct flavour combinations are available in the initial launch:

Strategic Expansion of the iÖGO Brand
This launch represents a strategic expansion of the iÖGO nanö brand beyond its established drinkable yogurt products into the creamy yogurt cup segment. According to Pagot-Gérault, "This breakthrough innovation expands our iÖGO nanö brand beyond drinkable yogurt into a creamy yogurt cup that reflects shifting consumer expectations for distinctive texture and playful food experiences while maintaining the brand's high quality and nutritional value."
The iÖGO nanö Bubbles product joins a comprehensive portfolio of dairy offerings from Lactalis Canada designed to meet the needs of consumers across different age categories, including the original iÖGO line, iÖGO nanö drinkable yogurt, and iÖGO frozen yogurt products.
