Probiotics

Probiotic ice cream

The days are over when ice cream treats and a guilty conscience went hand in hand. Chr. Hansen has developed a probiotic ice cream together with the Central American ice cream producer Dos Pinos.

Ice cream with health benefits

Dos Pinos, one of the top players in the Central American ice cream industry, has launched an innovative yoghurt ice cream with a number of health benefits.

Chr. Hansen's role

Chr. Hansen has played an important role in the development of the new ice cream. In close cooperation with Dos Pinos, Chr. Hansen's technicians developed a solution with yoghurt cultures, color and two probiotic strains known to stimulate the immune system.

Low fat and natural colors

This is a good example of a value added premium ice cream product. The combination of low fat, natural colors and probiotics make this an attractive solution for modern, health conscious consumers.


At Chr. Hansen we collaborate with our customers to bring probiotics from the lab and onto the supermarket shelves
