Soprole works with Tetra Pak to launch new probiotic format for children
The new product, “Uno Colación”, is already available in strawberry and multi-fruit flavors in the main supermarkets of the country.
“Probiotics are a very good alternative to help children strengthen their immune system. ‘Uno Colación’ will allow parents to send this protection now in their lunchbox, in a very practical and easy to take format for them,” said Guillermo Gallardo, product manager, Soprole.
The products are low in sodium, sugar- and fat-free.
Packaging
According to Tetra Pak, this is the first time the Aseptic 80 ml Slim has been used in Chile. The packaging is specially designed for children's consumption, as it is easy to carry and drink.
“This container is already present in other countries of the world, where it stands out as an intelligent, simple and economical solution, since in addition to its advantage over weight, it is 100% recyclable made with cardboard from FSC certified forest sources,” said Pablo DeToro, Marketing Manager of Tetra Pak.
