Activia Vanilla Probiotic Yogurt

Activia is a globally recognized brand of probiotic yogurt that was first introduced in France in 1987. It was developed to specifically address digestive health, featuring the proprietary probiotic strain Bifidobacterium animalis lactis. The brand has since expanded to over 70 countries, becoming a staple in the probiotic fermented milk category.

Manufacturing of Activia yogurt is localized to serve specific markets. For the Canadian market (as suggested by the bilingual French/English packaging), products are typically manufactured in Canada, while in the United States, production is centered at Danone’s facilities in Ohio and Texas. This localized strategy ensures freshness and supports local dairy industries.

Ultimate ownership of Activia lies with Danone (formerly Groupe Danone), a multinational food-products corporation headquartered in France. Danone is a global leader in essential dairy and plant-based products, focusing on health-centric food and water. In North America, the brand is managed under the Danone North America subsidiary, which maintains a commitment to sustainable and health-oriented food solutions.
