Supplier press release: Kerrymaid adds frozen yogurt to the mix

Kerrymaid has introduced UHT Frozen Yogurt Mix to the UK foodservice market, bringing opportunities for outlets to capitalise on the strong growing consumer trend.

Recent independent consumer research, commissioned by Kerrymaid, shows a very high rate of trial and repeat purchase of frozen yogurt and a positive perception as a healthier alternative to ice cream. Considered as an anytime snacking treat, as well as an after-meal dessert, frozen yogurt creates great day part opportunities and operators can provoke impulse purchases through targeted POS.

With less than 100 calories per serving and virtually fat free, Kerrymaid UHT Frozen Yogurt Mix is easy to market to the health conscious consumer, and there are options for personalisation with the use of toppings, sauces and ingredients. Operators can also change the flavour of the base mix by using DaVinci Gourmet Fruit Innovations syrups, such as Strawberry Passion Fruit.

Kerrymaid UHT Frozen Yogurt Mix has been created to make it as easy as possible to prepare with its one quick step process, as well as boasting a nine-month shelf life and ambient storage.

Grace Keenan, Kerrymaid brand manager, says: "This is an exciting new product that allows outlets to take advantage of consumer demand for this healthier alternative to ice cream, throughout the whole day. As Kerrymaid understands speed and convenience is important in service, we've developed Kerrymaid UHT Frozen Yogurt Mix so that it's quick and simple to create a profitable and on-trend treat. Operators can also rely on the product's consistency in delivering a tart taste and creamy texture every time."

Respondents of the research, undertaken by Cambridge Direction, cited they would be happy to purchase frozen yogurt from across various foodservice channels, including sandwich bars, coffee shops, garden centres, restaurants, pubs, universities, bakeries, pubs, ice cream kiosks and snack bars, representing a great opportunity across the out of home market.
