Lactalis USA has stepped firmly into the functional-snacking arena with the launch of :ratio Pro-Fiber, a new dairy-based product line positioned squarely at the booming “GLP-1 lifestyle” market. With appetite-suppressing drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy reshaping consumer eating habits, brands are scrambling to offer high-protein, high-fiber, low-sugar options—and Lactalis clearly wants the front row seat.
What’s in the Cup?
Each serving delivers:
- 20 g protein
- 10 g fiber
- 0 g added sugar
- High calcium and vitamin B12
That’s roughly:
- the fiber of 2.5 cups of cooked oatmeal, and
- three times the protein of an egg.
In other words, it’s engineered for satiety, blood-sugar stability, and weight-management goals—exactly what the GLP-1 consumer base is hunting for.
CEO’s Pitch: “Food That Works Harder”
Kerry DeLaney, CEO of Midwest Yogurt (a Lactalis USA affiliate), played directly to the functional-food trend:
“Consumers today are looking for foods that do more… whether you’re looking to amp up protein or part of the growing GLP-1 community.”

Translation: This isn’t just yogurt; it’s nutritional strategy disguised as a snack.
Flavors Designed for Broad Appeal
The lineup hits both “classic” and “dessert-swap” categories:
- Vanilla
- Blueberry
- Lemon Meringue
- Piña Colada
The positioning is clear: keep taste indulgent while keeping macros disciplined.
Retailer Buzz
Shea Allred, head of North America sales, highlighted why stores are leaning in:
“Protein and fiber are top-of-mind… :ratio Pro-Fiber delivers both.”
High-repeat-purchase potential + exploding GLP-1 shopper demand = retailers opening shelf space fast.
Market Positioning
- Produced by Midwest Yogurt, Inc., an affiliate of Lactalis USA
- Distributed nationwide
- Launch MSRP: $1.66
This price point is aggressive—low enough for mass adoption, but premium enough to signal “functional” quality.
Why This Matters (Industry View)
This launch shows how rapidly big dairy is adapting:
- GLP-1 users eat less → seek nutrient-dense options.
- Dairy proteins (casein + whey) naturally support satiety.
- Fiber + zero added sugar hits metabolic-health trends.
For Lactalis, this isn’t just a product—it’s their ticket into the fastest-growing subsegment of the modern diet market.
