Yakult Light to enter market

7/6/2012

TORRANCE, Calif. — Yakult U.S.A. is introducing a probiotic drink to the U.S. market.



Yakult Light, which has nearly two-thirds less sugar and one-third fewer calories than regular Yakult, contains active probiotic bacteria called Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota. The product also is made with natural sweeteners and natural flavors, and is free of preservatives, gluten and high-fructose corn syrup. Unlike regular Yakult products, Yakult Light will tout blue and white packaging, with the red Yakult logo.



Yakult Light can be found on store shelves as early as mid-July, the company said.
