Ski Dairy

Ski Dairy is a British dairy and yogurt brand owned by Nestle.[1]

History

The brand was founded by Express Dairies in Haywards Heath in 1963[2] and was the first yogurt to contain fruit pieces.[3] It was bought out by Fonterra and Nestle in 2002[4][5] and was popular around Europe and Australia (until 2006).[5]

Recall

In 2020 the Food Standards Agency recalled Ski yogurts[6] for claims that it contained pieces of rubber. It is unknown whether this was resolved.[7][8][9] Nestle UK says it was due to a manufacturing error.[10]
