EGYPT – Danone Egypt has announced the launch of its newest product, Danone Greek yogurt which features a protein-filled signature creamy texture.

The innovative addition to the Danone family is also complemented by delicious fruits on the bottom and promises a taste experience like no other, according to the company in a LinkedIn post.

Danone Egypt, a subsidiary of Danone established in 2006, has its headquarters in Cairo and has been a leading player in the essential dairy industry.

The company is known for offering a wide range of products that cater to various nutritional needs and preferences.

Danone’s portfolio includes popular items such as Danone Yogurt, Dango, Activia, Danette pudding, Danone MAX, Oiko Greek yogurt, Danao, and HiPro drinkable yogurt.

“Danone Egypt’s products are designed to be enjoyed at different times of the day and are made from natural, sustainably produced ingredients.”

The company’s offerings range from yogurts available in full cream, light, sugar, and fruit varieties to specialized products like Dango, which is enriched with essential vitamins and iron to support children’s nutritional needs.

“Activia provides unique probiotics to aid digestive health, while Danette offers a delightful pudding treat. The Danone MAX flavored yogurt drink and Oiko Greek yogurt are known for their creamy textures and rich flavors,” the company said.

“Danao flavored milk and HiPro drinkable yogurt, which contains 20g of all-natural protein with 0% added sugar, are perfect for those seeking vitality and nutritional benefits.”

In 2019, Danone Egypt achieved the B Corp™ Certification, becoming the first company in Egypt to receive this prestigious recognition.

The certification covered all of Danone Egypt’s activities, including its essential dairy products and early-life nutrition lines.

It acknowledged the company’s ambition to act beyond financial profit, placing purpose at the heart of its business strategy.

 “We are very proud of this B Corp™ certification. It is a recognition of the daily attention paid by our 1,545 Danone employees to drive positive social and environmental impact on the Egyptian community,” Henri de l’Epine, Managing Director for Danone North East Africa, stated.

This certification highlighted Danone Egypt’s dual commitment to business success and social progress. The company works closely with local farmers, milk collectors, and micro-distributors, and it provides access to nutritional education for consumers.

 “We are very excited that more multinational subsidiaries, like Danone Egypt, have undertaken this significant effort to become certified,” Nathan Gilbert, Executive Director of B Lab Europe, noted.

“We hope it will inspire other companies and multinationals operating in Egypt and the region to follow, accelerating this global culture shift to define success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable economy.”

With 3,000 employees dedicated to nourishing a healthier and happier Egypt, Danone assured of continuity to contribute positively to the community by offering high-quality, healthy products for infants, children, and families.

The company has also advocated for a healthy lifestyle for all Egyptians, reinforcing its commitment to social and environmental responsibility alongside its business growth.
