Researchers worldwide are experimenting with different carriers for delivering live probiotic bacteria to consumers’ intestines. Products range from yoghurts to freeze-dried capsules and even granola bars and chocolate. Unilever is now producing two probiotic ice cream products.
Ice cream unhealthy? No, says dr. Danielle Wolvers, immunologist at Unilever’s Food and Health Research Institute. "There is a whole range of ice cream products that can be consumed on a daily basis," she states. She responds to the question whether daily consumption of ice cream, even if it is a probiotic ice cream, is such a good idea. "The probiotic ice creams that we produce, for instance, are low-fat and low in sugar. They contain only 100 kilocalories per serving."
Unilever is joining the list of companies around the world that are developing probiotic consumer products. It is currently producing two probiotic ice creams: a frozen yoghurt with granola and fruit, and an ice cream lollypop. "The first is now on the market in Italy, France and Ireland," says Wolvers, "while the second was introduced in England in 2008."
