Yili launches ice cream manufacturing hub in Indonesia

Yili Indonesia Dairy Production Base

The Chinese dairy giant Yili has officially put into operation the initial phase of its production base in Indonesia. Yili Indonesia Dairy covers an area of 17 hectares and is located in the Greenland International Industrial Center, Bekasi, West Java. The new factory represents Yili’s ice cream production base in the country. 

Phase one costs an investment of RMB 867 million with a daily production capacity of 159 tons. Second phase will increase the daily production capacity to 343 tons a day, thus making the factory the biggest ice cream production facility in Indonesia.

The state-of-the-art facility was established due to the surging popularity of Joyday ice cream, a brand that has rapidly expanded its reach to 260 local cities in 26 provinces, covering nearly all of Indonesia, since its entry into the market in 2018. In October 2018, the company officially launched the Joyday ice cream brand in Indonesia.

Moving forward, Yili Indonesia Dairy will cooperate with local distributors and establish cooperative relationships with more than 200,000 sales outlets in Indonesia and promote its products to a broader international market through Yili’s global marketing channels.

NestlĂŠ Malaysia launches a new nutrition program to address prediabetes

DEC 09, 2021 – Today it is estimated that approximately 7.5% of the world’s adult population has suboptimal metabolic health and is considered to be prediabetic. If not addressed, prediabetes can progress into type-2 diabetes leading to health complications and increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

NestlĂŠ Health Science has just launched its first prediabetes program in Malaysia. The program comprises a novel food supplement which can be sprinkled over meals as part of a healthy diet to help maintain normal blood glucose after a meal. The accompanying digital platform enables an assessment of diabetes risks and provides tailored recommendations for prediabetes-friendly meal plans.

The food supplement Nutren® GlucoSmart™ contains Reducose®, a Mulberry leaf extract, a natural ingredient known in Asian traditional therapies for lowering blood glucose spikes.

The Mulberry leaf extract was tested by NestlĂŠ Research scientists in a clinical study. “The results from our clinical study demonstrate the maximal efficacy of ReducoseÂŽ in lowering the glucose response after a carbohydrate complete meal by 30 per cent. Best results were achieved when the product was mixed within the meal rather than when consumed separately just before”, says Christian Darimont, Metabolic Health Expert at NestlĂŠ Research who performed the study. “Hence the importance of having the product in a format that can be sprinkled over a meal”.

The web-based digital platform was created by nutrition scientists and experts at NestlĂŠ. It applies nutritional rules controlling the parameters that are most relevant in prediabetes, such as glycemic load, calorie and sodium intake, to propose recipes from an extensive proprietary recipe hub. These recipes are then algorithmically combined into weekly prediabetes meal plans in line with local guidelines and recommendations for a healthy and balanced diet.

“It is really critical to prevent the onset of the disease, hence our focus on a comprehensive prediabetes program”, says Yu Cheng, Global Head of Metabolic Health at NestlĂŠ Health Science. “The program allows consumers to quickly assess their diabetic risks and then combines nutritional products with tailored recipe recommendations for managing meals and food intake in a more personalized way.”

Maintaining healthy blood glucose levels after meals is central to lower type-2 diabetes risks and promote healthy ageing. Nutritionally balanced solutions based on natural ingredients like Nutren® GlucoSmart™ which efficiently decrease glucose response of a complete meal are still limited on the market today.

Heineken launches Solar Power energy drink in Singapore to deliver good energy

Heineken has launched a new non-alcoholic drink in Singapore that offers an all-refreshing, all-natural energy drink with a boost of vitamins C and D. The new Solar Power energy drink combines all the attributes consumers want in their beverages namely natural ingredients, renewable energy and oneness with the environment.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGcbNmD1hrs

In Singapore, the approach taken the The GOVT PTE LTD is to focus on positioning Solar Power as the choice of good energy. Here is how the agency describes the approach:

“The edge Solar Power has over it’s bigger, badder competitors lies in the fact that it only uses ingredients from natural sources. That means you get the boost you need without all the bad stuff like [insert impossible-to-pronounce-word-only-a-chemistry-professor-would-know]. In other words, all you get is Good Energy Only. Our campaign took relatable, everyday situations that brought about “bad energy”, added a dose of outlandish irreverence and positioned Solar Power as the drink of choice to get you out of them.”

Solar Power is available at 7-Eleven outlets in Singapore.

The Tapping Tapir taps Cherry & Vanilla as its Christmas limited edition flavour

The Malaysian artisanal soft drink company The Tapping Tapir has unveiled its latest Christmas collection – HO HO HO Yum Cherry Xmas and HO HO HO Cool Merry Xmas. The Tapping Tapir’s Christmas flavour for this year is Cherry & Vanilla.

The limited edition Cherry & Vanilla Light comes in a 325ml can and contains sparkling water, cane sugar, cherry, vanilla, citric acid and steviol glycoside (stevia leaf extract).

Vitamilk Double Milk offers the goodness of soy and cow’s milk

Green Spot, the producer of Vitamilk, has launched Vitamilk Double Milk in the Philippines. Vitamilk Double Milk is a blended product featuring soy and milk to offer consumers with a smoother, creamier and more delicious taste.

Right now, the soy milk category is moving into two directions. First, the category is eliminating cow’s milk and other animal-sourced proteins to become 100% plant-based or vegan friendly to be in line with the plant-based trend. Another approach, which is where Vitamilk Double Milk comes in, is to combine soy milk with the benefits of cow’s milk with a focus on taste and health. Both approaches have their own merits.

Vitamilk Double Milk is described as an “all-natural soy milk that’s delicious, nutritious, and packed with protein and other vitamins and minerals that are good for the body.”
