Müller launches Milk Minis into Co-op stores from May
Müller has today announced the launch of its brand new Milk Minis – 200ml cartons in Whole Milk, Chocolate Milk and Strawberry Milk drink variants, made with fresh cow’s milk.
The child-friendly cartons feature bright, engaging packaging and will launch into Co-op Food on the Go fixtures exclusively from May 9th before being rolled out into the standard milk fixture thereafter.
The drinks are made with fresh British milk and are a delicious source of calcium and vitamin B12.
Rebecca Oliver-Mooney, Head of Category & Operational Marketing at Müller Milk & Ingredients, says: “We know how hard it can be for parents to provide healthy nutritious options for their kids, especially on the go. That’s why we’re excited to launch Müller Milk Minis – delicious milk drinks with the goodness of dairy.
“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. Perfect for lunchboxes, or to enjoy on the go, we know kids will love the cool cow design, and the tasty milk inside!”
Müller Milk Minis Strawberry and Chocolate milk drinks will launch in to Food on the Go fixture Stores from May 9th 2016. All three variants will then be rolled out on the standard milk fixture in Co-op stores from May 23rd 2016.
