Danone’s Actimel probiotic drinking yoghurt is the world’s biggest immunity brand and one of the world’s biggest and most successful probiotic brands. First launched in Europe in 1994 in innovative 100ml daily-dose bottles, Actimel’s meteoric rise helped create a category which did not previously exist. At the most conservative estimate, Actimel earned over €1.4 billion ($1.8 billion) in retail sales last year.
