The Horizon Organic Growing Years line has been updated by the brand to offer parents a range of new options to pick up that are perfect for developing youngsters. The product range now includes cultured dairy smoothies, low-fat yogurt pouches, single-serve whole milk boxes and reduced fat half gallons. These products are focused on children who might be picky eaters to help them get the nutrients they need each day to support healthy development.
Senior Vice President of Premium Dairy at Danone North America Regan Ebert spoke on the additions to the Horizon Organic Growing Years line saying, "Our goal is to make it easy for parents to give their children nutrients they need, all while giving kids the delicious taste they crave. We know little ones can be picky, so we’ve partnered closely with pediatricians to develop new Horizon Organic Growing Years products that offer parents more variety, all while providing key nutrients for growing children.”
