Richlife goes for probiotic drinking yoghurt

4 December, 2016

Richlife, recently launched a drinking yogurt with probiotic and real fruit. It comes in a range of six flavours.

With the launch of drinking yoghurt with real fruit, Richlife not only offers consumers taste and variety, but more importantly, the goodness of Probiotics, a company official said.

“When you see the statement ‘With live and active probiotic cultures’ on the container it means Richlife drinking yoghurt has the required amounts of probiotics to keep your stomach functioning smoothly. We test our product at different periods during its shelf life, right to the end, to ensure the live probiotic cell count in Richlife drinking yoghurt to bring the best of quality, safety and health benefits to consumers,” said Group R&D Manager at Renuka Foods, Lakmali Gallege.

“We have an extensive range of dairy products including fresh, flavoured and pasteurized milk as well as yoghurt, curd and cheese. Richlife was the first to introduce drinking yogurt and now adding to our wide array of dairy products is our drinking yogurt with real fruits and of course probiotics. It is excellent to quell hunger pangs while on the go,” she said.

Probiotics are beneficial microbes that live in the digestive tract and are live microorganisms that keep a person healthy by overpowering harmful ones that cause intestinal infections. Probiotics keep the human body, especially the stomach functioning smoothly.

Probiotics also assist in the reduction of serum blood cholesterol levels, inflammatory bowel disease and colorectal cancer, according to recent research.

An estimated 100 trillion microorganisms representing more than 500 different species inhabit every normal healthy bowel and keep pathogens or harmful microorganisms in check.

There are 7,000 dairy farmer families who benefit from the company’s milk collection operation. Not only is Richlife drinking yoghurt made of milk from Sri Lanka’s own dairies, Renuka Foods maintains an excellent R&D team and its drinking yoghurt is manufactured under ISO 22000 certified quality controlled systems for food safety.
