Campina custard made with healthier Campina milk and less sugar
The next step in a healthy diet – more Campina products made using healthy Campina milk with a higher nutritional value Campina has recently started making vla (custard), the traditional Dutch dairy treat, using Campina milk with a more balanced fatty acid composition and a lower sugar content. The sweet taste so popular with millions of Dutch consumers won’t change, however. The new custard has been developed in response to the trend for tasty yet more responsible products which tie in with people’s daily consumption patterns. As well as Campina custard, there is now also Campina yoghurt and traditional Campina porridges made from Campina milk with a more balanced fatty acid composition. These have been available on the supermarket shelves since last spring.
