The Arctic Decaf Café Latte has been launched by the chilled coffee brand as a category-first, ready-to-drink beverage that targets the increased demand for cafe-style products with a free-from formulation.
The drink is made with Rainforest Alliance-certified coffee and has been decaffeinated to accommodate consumer preferences for low and no caffeine options. The latte features no added sugar, features a low fat 1% formulation and features less than 150-calories per serving. The coffee drink comes in a resealable package to accommodate consumption out of the house.
Senior Marketing Manager at Crediton Dairy Jo Taylor commented on the Arctic Decaf Café Latte saying, "Arctic Decaf Café Latte will be ideal for those consumers who avoid caffeine for varying reasons. It’s a clear gap in the market and is a product consumers are also asking us for both in our socials and in our market research."
