That's why Danimals is swooping in to save snack time and make parents a true Snack Hero! Danimals is coming to the rescue by partnering with Instacart to deliver snacks with nutrients kids need – like calcium and Vitamin D – in a pinch. Whether you realize you're on snack duty for your kid's sports team or you need something to quickly throw in the car for school pick-up, Danimals is ready to save the day with a taste kids love.

New Survey from Danone North America Highlights the Need for Gut Health Education in an Ever-Evolving Wellness Landscape
Stubborn misconceptions continue to be a barrier to consumers' understanding of gut health benefits and ways to support it WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. and LOUISVILLE, Colo., April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A new survey from Danone North America found that 84% of Americans have become more interested in foods or products that support gut health in the past several years, a trend that aligns with the rapid growth of the category, with the global probiotics market expected to reach $119.5 billion by 2030. However, while Google searches for 'gut health' have more than doubled in the last three years, the survey found 41% of consumers remain unaware of the gut microbiome, and 50% don't realize it can impact gut health,1 revealing an opportunity for additional education. The survey also shed light on several persistent myths that could be making it difficult for consumers to navigate and best leverage gut health promoting products in an increasingly crowded category. As a pioneer in the biotics space, including its launch of Activia in 2006 and a variety of innovative products since, Danone North America is committed to not only providing research-informed products that support gut health and the gut microbiome, but also to empowering consumers with the information they need to make informed decisions around food and beverages that best support their needs. The Survey Findings Conducted as a follow-up to a survey the company commissioned in 2021, this latest polling revealed that, while awareness around the gut microbiome has increased slightly, there remains significant work to be done on the education front. Top Microbiome Myths, Busted by a Registered Dietitian Kristie Leigh, registered dietitian and Director of Nutrition & Scientific Affairs at Danone North America, helps bust several persistent myths that could be making it difficult for consumers to choose the right products in pursuit of better gut health. Danone's commitment to continuing to advance the field of gut health and the gut microbiome is evident with initiatives like the Danone North America Fellowship Grant program, which has awarded over $500,000 to support groundbreaking studies on probiotics and human health since 2017. In 2024, for example, this program awarded $25,000 each to Evan Chrisler of the University of Wisconsin-Madison and Arushana Maknojia of Baylor College of Medicine to support research that aims to advance probiotic and prebiotic development. Chrisler's research looks at how the timing and type of probiotic consumption affect metabolism and immunity, while Maknojia's examines the way gut microbes influence blood cell production. 'Our mission at Danone North America is to bring health through food to as many people as possible, and research continues to suggest that gut health and the gut microbiome are important pieces of that puzzle in some incredibly far-reaching ways,' said Miguel Freitas, PhD, Vice President of Nutrition and Scientific Affairs at Danone North America. 'That's why it's important for us to not only help fund research that continues to unlock the power of the gut microbiome, but also to keep a pulse on consumer understanding and sentiment to help us identify and address knowledge gaps in this area and in turn empower consumers with science-backed information they can use in pursuit of their individual health goals.' Danone also offers a variety of delicious products that make it easy for consumers of all ages to support gut health and the gut microbiome in their everyday life. This includes probiotic options like Activia yogurt, Activia Probiotic Dailies, and the new Activia Zero 0g Added Sugar*, options with prebiotics like Silk Kids oatmilk blend, and products that combine both like Activia Fiber and Happy Baby Organic Infant Formula. *Not a low calorie food To learn more about probiotics and gut health, visit About Danone North America Danone North America is a purpose-driven company and an industry leader in the food and beverage category.
