• Healthy Pleasures is the
first nutritional bever
age to be introduced in
glass bottles with a full
wraparound shrink
label that are designed
to be more consumer
friendly. In fact, the
Healthy Pleasures pack
age design won the bev
erage category Mobius
Advertising Award in
February 1999.
“We think the combina
tion of excellent nutrition
al value, taste and innova
tive packaging will attract
consumers to Healthy
Pleasures as a convenient,
healthy and enjoyable
drink they can use any
time as a meal or snack
substitute,” Williams ex
plains.
Sam McCroskey, chief
operating officer at DFA
Formulated Dairy Food
Products, agrees.
“Healthy Pleasures is the
result of extensive prod
uct development, strin
gent taste testing and our
experience with dairy
products,” McCroskey
adds. “DFA has been a co
packer for leading nutri
tional drink companies for
more than 50 years.
During that time, we have
established product devel
opment and manufactur
ing expertise that makes
DFA a national leader in
this category of products.”
Dairy Farmers of
America is a growing
dairy marketing coopera
tive that markets milk for
more than 22,000 dairy
producer/members in 43
states. DFA supplies milk
to bottling and manufac
turing plants that produce
a complete line of dairy
