General Mills introduced its French-style Oui by Yoplait products to United States consumers a few years ago and now Oui Dairy Free is being launched as a yogurt alternative made with a coconut base. The coconut dairy alternative is debuting in mango, strawberry, raspberry and vanilla flavors, and comes elegantly packaged in glass pots.
The popularity of plant-based foods is inspiring consumers to explore alternatives to dairy, including products that are made with everything from soy and oats to nuts. While these options appeal to consumers who are passionate about forgoing dairy altogether, they also appeal to a growing number of people who might consider themselves "more or less plant-based" or flexible when it comes to their eating choices.
Consumers across the country can expect to be able to enjoy Oui Dairy Free as of early 2020.
