The Dannon Company, Inc.

White Plains, NY United States

 

Company Description

Yes, it is curdled milk with bacteria and with a bit of jam, but yogurt by Dannon has risen from health-food obscurity into a supermarket staple. The Dannon Company vies with General Mills, maker of dairy label Yoplait, for the #1 spot as the best-selling yogurt brand in the US. Dannon supplies a staggering 100-some flavors, styles, and sizes of yogurts, in regular, low-fat, and nonfat varieties, as well as in liquid, "drinkable" and smoothie forms. Dannon also makes Danimals yogurt in kid-friendly packaging; and for moms (and Mr. Moms), it launches a slew of flavorful, nutritious lines, such as Activia, a pro-biotic-infused low-fat yogurt for digestion. Dannon is a subsidiary of France's Groupe Danone.
