MILO®, the world's leading chocolate malt beverage brand, today launched the new MILO® More Milk and 50% Less Sugar, created in-line with the national push towards increased nutrition and less sugar, while catering to the hectic lifestyles of Singaporean families.
Mr Rajiv Deraniyagala, Managing Director at Nestlé Singapore said, “Recognising the needs of Singaporeans and the shift towards more nutritious diets, MILO® continues to innovate its ever-popular beverage to support its Singapore consumers, while working with the relevant authorities and stakeholders towards the nation-wide goal of curbing sugar intake. The new MILO® More Milk and 50% Less Sugar also reflects Nestlé’s commitment to bring Singaporeans along with us on the journey to grow as a healthier nation.”
Formulated to provide Singaporeans the well-loved taste of MILO®, with the nutrition of milk and half the amount of table sugar, the product is endorsed with Health Promotion Board (HPB)’s Healthier Choice Symbol (HCS) for containing less sugar.
Mr Deraniyagala added, “While most of MILO®’s products are already HCS-certified, we continue to do our part further and develop new products that are exciting and relevant, this time alongside national efforts to cut down on sugar, offered in ready to drink packaging. Now, families can continue to enjoy the well-loved taste of MILO® with more milk for that extra calcium boost, as well as with less sugar.”
A packet of MILO® More Milk and 50% Less Sugar now has double the amount of calcium to the equivalent of one glass of fresh milk, contains a 25% increase in protein the same as that of an egg, all on top of eight essential vitamins and minerals.
Additionally, it addresses parents’ needs for alternative healthier products, in the form of a ready-to-drink product with more calcium. It also offers more convenience to them with beverage options for their children, offering both nutrition and an enjoyable taste.
MILO® More Milk and 50% Less Sugar is now available at all major supermarkets, convenience stores, minimarts, provision stores and online supermarkets. The beverage retails at S$4.45 per cluster of six 200ml packets.
