Pillay R Group introduces new flavoured Lactel milk for schools |14 January 2016

Pillay R Group has recently introduced a new, skimmed, healthy flavoured milk to satisfy the growing needs of all school going kids, teenagers and young adults.

The French Lactel Lait-à-l’Ecole is solely distributed by Mahé Industrial of Pillay R Group, who is the authorised distributor of Lactel branded products in Seychelles.

This new product is yet another innovation to the already very popular branded French Lactel Milk – highest quality milk at every stage from source to consumer.  The product is available in strawberry and chocolate flavours and comes in 200ml packs. It is available in all Ramajayam and other leading retail outlets on Mahé, Praslin and La Digue

“This product is certainly going to bring a smile on the face of all kids, parents, teachers and all family members. Its affordability, along with its so many excellent attributes, is an added attraction for everyone,” said D.V. Sharma, general manager purchase & global sourcing with the Pillay R Group.

He added that Lactel Lait-à-l’Ecole strawberry flavoured milk is an amazing product with all the nutritional benefits of milk, essential for a balanced diet for children. It has a long life with storage at ambient temperature.

Similarly, Max Lactel chocolate is a chocolate milk drink, sweetened, sterilised UHT enriched with vitamins and minerals.

Today, the Lactel brand is a household name available in a wide range to satisfy all customers looking for full cream, low fat, zero fat milk. It is available in full cream and skimmed milk in 1ltr packs and bottles from 500ml to 1ltr.

“We wanted to be the first in Seychelles to come up with this excellent innovation in flavoured milk for schools and the Lactalis company was very keen to work on this introduction. At present there is no flavored milk in Seychelles exclusively for schools. Kids are consuming flavoured milk which is more suitable for adults and it may not be good for their health and growth. It may turn out to be risky if kids consume inferior flavoured milk. There is a lot of flavoured milk which are of inferior quality and one can see that the ingredients don’t dissolve properly and they sit at the bottom. It can have a lot of side effects if we drink sediments which have not dissolved properly,” said Mr Sharma.

He urged parents, children and members of society to consume only Lactel Lait-à-l’Ecole for their excellent growth.

“This is an ideal combination of highest quality, affordability and with ideal product composition for children.  Yes, adults are also welcome to consume it as it has 10 vitamins and calcium which are very good. They may consume higher quantity for additional requirements,” Mr Sharma advised.

Lactalis is a family-run group based in Laval, Mayenne, in the dairy region of the West of France, with a presence in nearly 150 countries. With turnover exceeding 16 billion Euro and 200 factories, it is the world’s number one dairy business  organisation. Everyday it collects nearly 15 million litres of milk.

Lactel flavoured milk has been nutritionally developed as part of children’s diet and to make all kids healthier. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recommends the daily consumption of three portions of dairy products and five portions of fruits.

This is the excellent product to achieve above-mentioned goal and to reduce the  growing obesity trend in Seychelles.

It is interesting to note that the product can be consumed as a morning and afternoon snack and during breakfast, lunch and dinner. So it is ideal for all occasions.

These chocolate milk packets are perfect for snacks during the rides. Its good chocolate flavour and creamy texture will appeal to your child. Lactel Max contains more than 90% of dairy ingredients which makes it rich in calcium as well as vitamins and phosphorus. No dyes, no preservatives are added.
