Utah Plant Helps Roll Out New Product For Dannon

Utah is playing a role in Dannon’s introduction of a yogurt with beneficial "live and active cultures" for cost-conscious shoppers, with pricing that is as much as half off of other yogurt products.

Pure is being produced at the company’s second-largest U.S. plant, in West Jordan. It costs less because it is made with just seven to nine simple ingredients. Instead of fruit, for instance, Pure has natural fruit flavors. A six-pack sells for $1.99.

Company officials say Pure was introduced in an effort to entice lower-income families, which typically purchase less yogurt than do higher-income households.
