Müller Kids Corner Launches New Reduced Sugar Formulation and Toy Promotion with Hasbro
From 26th September, Müller Yogurt & Desserts will launch its reformulated popular Kids Corner brand by changing the recipe to include 50% less added sugar, reducing the total sugar content to 10% per 100g.
The reformulation taps directly into the increasing demand for consumers to lower their sugar consumption, particularly within the kids category. All Müller Kids Corner yogurts are made with milk and are perfect to enjoy as part of a varied and balanced diet. Milk is a natural and nutrient-rich product, containing essential minerals such as calcium and vitamins (especially B vitamins) which are a vital part of a healthy and nutritious diet.
In addition, the new formula products will feature a promotion with iconic toy brand Hasbro, giving entrants the chance to win a Hasbro toy every single day until 18th December by simply entering a unique code located inside the outer wraps of promotional packsinto a dedicated website*.
Michael Inpong, Marketing Director at Müller said: “We are very excited to launch our new reduced sugar Kids Corner range. At Müller we are committed to supporting reducing added sugar across our whole portfolio, and through our Müllerlicious products, programmes and actions we will empower consumers to make healthy and balanced lifestyle choices.
“We have committed significant investment and resources to drive health and wellbeing this year, next year and beyond, on our journey to reduce added sugar across all our brands. Our kids offering must remain Müllerlicious, but address the growing trend for delicious, reduced-sugar options - something we hope to tap into with our reformulated Müllerlicious Kids Corner offering, now with 50% less added sugar.
“We are also delighted to be partnering with iconic toy brand Hasbro for this exciting new promotion. Our aim is to delight our consumers and we know kids and parents alike love our Müllerlicious Kids Corner products with their delicious flavours and eye-catching packaging. This promotion gives entrants the chance to win a Hasbro toy every single day until 18th December by simply entering a unique code located inside the outer wraps of promotional packsinto our website*. We hope to bring real excitement to the Kids yogurt category.”
