The Arla Cultura dairy brand is a new range of gut health dairy products from Arla Foods for the UK market that are crafted with nutrition and function in mind.
The products are reported to have a milder flavor profile when compared to other fermented dairy products available, and are made with a blend of bacteria cultures, vitamin D, calcium, protein and fiber to give them a nutritional edge. The products are also lactose-free to make them applicable for consumers who are lactose intolerant. The range includes three 500ml gut health milk drinks in Original, Raspberry and Blueberry flavors, while the 450-gram gut health yogurts come in Original, Strawberry and Blueberry flavors.
Brand Director Stuart Ibberson spoke on the Arla Cultura dairy brand saying, "We’re proud to introduce Arla Cultura® to the UK market. Our ambition is to become the most trusted, accessible gut-health brand on shelf—and to do that we’re launching a major marketing campaign from September 2025 and throughout 2026. We want to simplify complex science so consumers can feel confident about ‘giving their gut more’ every day."
