Spreads are a new area of application for probiotics and the world’s first probiotic spread contains Valio LGG®, the world’s most researched probiotic strain.

“This low fat spread is an ideal medium for probiotics and the modern, easy and tasty way to enjoy their health benefits. The spread is also low in sugar compared to other probiotic products and contains important vitamins and essential fatty acids,” says Leendert Wesdorp, Vice President Foods R&D at Unilever.

Immunity for breakfast

LGG®’s debut in the spreads category will reinforce its position as the world’s number one probiotic. This spread is the perfect way to start the day by strengthening the body’s natural immunity and an ideal addition to a healthy breakfast. Valio first brought LGG® to consumers in 1990 through its Valio Gefilus® range.

A license to co-operate

“Valio’s co-operation with Unilever is a clear marker for the continuing success of our strategy to promote Valio innovations in selected markets either under the Valio brand or by licensing technology to responsible partners,” says Esa Laurinsilta, Vice President, Innovations.
