The Dannon Company, White Plains, NY, has committed to further improve the nutrition profile of its yogurt products. Announced at the 2014 Building a Healthier Future Summit, Dannon presented a four-part pledge to the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA), with key goals including:

• Improving the nutrient density by 10% of the Dannon product portfolio overall by increasing nutrients that are encouraged in the diet, like vitamin D, and decreasing total sugar and fat.
• Reducing the amount of total sugar in Dannon products to 23 grams or less (per 6-oz. serving) in 100% of products for children and 70% of the company’s products overall.
• Reducing the amount of fat in Dannon products, so that 75% of products will be low-fat or fat-free.
• Investing $3 million in nutrition education and research focused on healthy eating habits.

Dannon plans to achieve these goals by 2016 by introducing new innovations and reformulating existing products. Last year the company reduced sugar in its Danimals smoothies for children by 25%.
