Paul Chmielewski, Head of Marketing and International at Lakeland Dairies said: “Milk is great source of calcium for growing bodies, and we know a lot of children really enjoy flavoured milk.
“We wanted to produce the best tasting no added sugar flavoured milk on the market and we were simply not prepared to compromise on taste. We are delighted that children agree - with a whopping 74% of kids choosing Viva No Added Sugar milk as their favourite.”
He said that in blind taste tests 75% of children said they preferred the taste of Viva No Added Sugar when it was independently tasted by 10-16-year-olds across the country.
