Let’s shape a healthier future

We can help you get you closer to your societal impact goals by exploring the potential of products that could tackle key global health challenges including obesity. Working together, we’ll unlock probiotics’ novel functional health benefits. And we’ll explore the functional health benefits of fermented dairy beyond probiotics.

Let’s shape a protein-rich future

With the global population expected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, we’re going to need a lot more protein, including specialized ones¹. Working together, we can develop products to meet the demands of a protein-hungry world.

Fermentation for a healthier future

Thanks to its unique combination of nutrients, milk is often called the original superfood. Milk proteins play a key role in meeting global protein demand. Through fermentation and pure biology, you can take the original superfood to the next level and get more of dairy’s vital nutrients to those who need them.

Meet the demand for specialized proteins
From early years to old age, through intense sporting activities and serious illnesses, every life stage calls for targeted nutrition. Specialized proteins can help meet people’s complex and ever-changing protein needs. With our complementary skills, we can develop products to meet these needs.
Help tackle global health challenges
If trends continue, over half of the global adult population could be overweight or obese by 2050². This epidemic is driven in part by excessive sugar consumption. So let’s pool our complementary skills to deliver protein benefits in low-sugar dairy. All while reducing the need for artificial sweeteners.
Unlock novel functional health benefits
Modern lifestyles can lead to poor sleep, high stress levels and impact the gut-brain axis. That’s why we’re exploring natural solutions in these novel health segments. And we’re exploring ways to unlock the benefits of live, scientifically-documented probiotics in ambient, shelf-stable fermented dairy.
Explore benefits beyond probiotics
Fermented milk products combine the nutritional benefits of milk with the health benefits of probiotics. They could also be a source of fermentation-derived bioactive compounds. We’re exploring this space with targets that are aligned with our consumer and health insights and foresights.

Take hybrids to the next level

A blend of plant and animal ingredients appeals to people who want to reduce their dairy intake while continuing to enjoy its familiar flavors and textures. Hybrids are already very familiar to consumers; spreadable butters are a staple in many households. With our extensive application knowledge and R&D muscle in both dairy and plant-based, we’re the right partner to help you take hybrids to the next level. Together we can unlock value by exploring product concepts including hybrid yogurts and cream cheeses.

Let’s develop the dairy products of the future

So how can we develop the next-level, high-protein, low-sugar, hybrid and specialized dairy products of the future together? By continuing to turn change into opportunity. By continuing to extract joint value in partnerships built on mutual trust. And by continuing to focus on shaping a healthier future for dairy.
