Good & Gather Ultra-Filtered Milks Respond to Consumer Demand

The Good & Gather Ultra-filtered milk range is a new lineup of private label dairy products from Target that respond to the popularity of the dairy product variety. The product range features four varieties to choose from including Whole Milk, 2% Reduced Fat, Fat-Free and Chocolate, which have as much as 15-grams of protein per serving with up to 50% less sugar than alternatives. The lactose-free milk range is competitively priced to undercut premium alternatives on the market and comes in at $4.99 per bottle.

The company commented on the new Good & Gather Ultra-filtered milk range saying, "Ultra-filtered milk has become one of the most talked-about items in the dairy aisle, and shoppers aren't just buying it— they’re obsessing over it. Reddit threads have exploded with nutrition label comparisons, price breakdowns and one persistent question: why isn't this available everywhere, at a more accessible price point? Target has the answer."
