Benecol Yogurt Drink Mango & Passion Fruit

Benecol is a well-known functional food brand specializing in products designed to lower cholesterol, primarily through the use of plant stanols. The brand originated in Finland in the early 1990s when the ingredient Plant Stanol Ester was developed by the Finnish company Raisio. This specific product is a yogurt-based drink flavored with mango and passion fruit, marketed for its health benefits.

Manufacturing for Benecol products occurs in multiple locations across Europe to serve different markets. While the brand originated and is still headquartered in Finland, production for the UK and Irish markets often involves regional facilities. The ultimate ownership remains with the Raisio Group, a Finnish food company that holds the global rights to the Benecol brand and its proprietary cholesterol-lowering technology. In some international markets, Raisio licenses the brand to partners, but it maintains central control over the brand's core identity and clinical research.
