Activia Vanilla Yogurt

Activia is a globally recognized brand of probiotic yogurt that was first introduced in France in 1987. It was developed to address digestive health through the inclusion of specific live cultures. The brand is a core part of the dairy portfolio of its founding company, Danone.

In the Canadian market, Activia products are typically manufactured locally using Canadian milk at Danone’s production facilities in Boucherville, Quebec. This local production ensures freshness while supporting domestic agriculture.

Danone is a world leader in essential dairy and plant-based products, focusing on health-oriented nutrition. In Canada, the brand is managed by Danone Canada, which operates as a certified B Corporation, emphasizing social and environmental performance in its business model.
