Probiotic Pioneers Introduce Nancy’s Organic Probiotic Whole Milk Kefir

EUGENE, OREGON– Today Springfield Creamery announced four new Organic Whole Milk Kefirs to its line of Nancy’s Cultured Dairy products. These delicious, rich and creamy cultured milk products contain 11 strains of live probiotics, including clinically documented strains, delivered at therapeutic levels to help support immune and digestive health. Springfield Creamery first added live, beneficial probiotics to yogurt over 47 years ago, and the company has led the growing Probiotic Revolution ever since, including the newest Organic Probiotic Whole Milk Kefirs introduced today. Both the Organic Lowfat and the Organic Whole Milk Kefir varieties contain 50+ billion CFU’s (Colony Forming Units) of live beneficial probiotics per serving at the time of expiration.

“We always put health first. That’s why we carefully select a broad range of documented probiotic strains,” notes Sheryl Kesey Thompson, co-owner and VP of Marketing for Springfield Creamery. “Many hospitals and physicians use Nancy’s yogurts and kefirs as the probiotic source for their patients,” continues Thompson. “With whole dairy making a comeback, and, with so many of our customers and retailers wanting whole milk options, the introduction of our Organic Whole Milk Kefirs was a natural.”

Nancy’s Organic Probiotic Whole Milk Kefirs are available in 4 delicious, 32-oz flavors (Plain, Vanilla, Blueberry and Ginger Peach), with a suggested retail price of $5.49, and made with local organic, milk from pasture-raised cows on Oregon farms. As with other products, Nancy’s expert team makes Organic Probiotic Whole Milk Kefirs with care using simple, real ingredients. These four new products contain no pectin, gelatins, thickeners, cane sugars, or gluten. All flavors are lightly sweetened with organic agave nectar.

Springfield Creamery’s original founders, the Kesey family, have continued their dedication to innovation, as well as furthering their mission to restore the balance in our bodies, our lives, and our culture, just as they have since starting the family-owned company in 1960. Now with a line of more than 110 cultured dairy and soy products, Springfield Creamery is one of just a few large American creameries that remains independently operated, currently spanning three generations of the Kesey family. Still committed to batch production and doing things the old-fashioned way, all Nancy’s dairy and soy products are free of cane sugars, and each item offers billions of live probiotics per serving. Springfield Creamery’s commitment to providing the healthiest products to the largest number of people has earned widespread recognition, including Oregon Tilth’s “Organic Producer of The Year” award, Oregon Organic Coalition’s “Processor of The Year” award, Edible Portland’s “Local Hero Award for Best Food Artisan,” and Prevention Magazine’s “Cleanest Packaged Food Awards.”
