Yoplait YOP Strawberry Drinkable Yogurt

YOP is a popular drinkable yogurt brand under the Yoplait umbrella, which was originally established in France in 1965 as a cooperative of dairy farmers (Sodiaal). The YOP brand itself was launched in 1974 as the world's first drinkable yogurt snack. Today, the manufacturing of Yoplait products like YOP occurs in multiple locations across the globe through various licensing and ownership agreements.

Ownership of Yoplait is shared between the French dairy cooperative Sodiaal and the American multinational General Mills. General Mills acquired a controlling interest in the international Yoplait brand in 2011, though Sodiaal retains significant ownership and remains the brand's primary steward in Europe. In markets such as the UK and Europe, production is closely tied to regional dairy facilities, whereas in North America, General Mills handles the manufacturing and distribution. This global presence ensures that while the brand maintains its French heritage, it functions as a global leader in the dairy snack category.
