O’MY Dairy Free Gelato Launches Two New Lower Sugar, Dairy Free Gelato Options

RICHMOND, Va.– O’MY Dairy Free Gelato, a brand of indulgent gelato created for the whole family to enjoy, today announced a new line of what so many are craving: lower sugar Dairy Free Gelato in I Love Chocolate and Cake Walk flavors, both of which have just 2g of sugar per serving. Along with the lower sugar innovation, O’MY is adding a new flavor to its core line – Cake Batter – adding even more variety for consumers.

With 87% of people limiting their consumption of sugar to some degree, O’MY goes beyond its existing allergy-friendly promise to offer options with less sugar. The American Heart Association recommends only six teaspoons of sugar per day for women, and nine teaspoons per day for men, but the average American consumes about 17 teaspoons per day. O’MY Dairy Free Gelato can now serve as one of the solutions to for those needing or wanting to reduce sugar.

Co-founded by two food industry veterans with a shared commitment to taste, inclusivity and transparency, O’MY delights families with its limited ingredient list and unwavering commitment to taste. Each of O’MY Dairy Free Gelato’s now 10 indulgent, deliciously creamy flavors – MSRP $6.99/pint – is made with single-digit ingredients. All ingredients are thoughtfully sourced and include both Non-GMO Project Verified and Fairtrade Certified ingredients, 70% or more of which are organic. Additionally, the recipes were crafted to be free from major allergens, including wheat/gluten, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, and soy. The result is a creamy gelato made from coconut cream and sweetened with cane sugar that is vegan and allergy-friendly.

The new lower sugar flavors are sweetened with allulose, which has a neutral flavor profile, similar to sugar, but with 1/10 the calories as sugar, resulting in a negligible impact on glycemic response. Allulose works well in frozen desserts because it has a similar mouthfeel and sweetening properties to sugar, and pairs well with sweeteners like stevia and monk fruit to provide an overall balanced level of sweetness in the final product, without any off-flavors or bitterness.

“We tried lower sugar offerings and knew we could do better,” said Julie Bishop, COO and co-founder of O’MY Dairy Free Gelato. “Using allulose allows us to keep our recipe simple, without having to add additional ingredients such as pea protein and fiber. As with all of our simply made yet super-premium products, with this new lower sugar innovation we are committed to thoughtful ingredients that deliver a deliciously creamy gelato that tastes like…gelato!”

The brand is quickly growing, as shown by significant distribution gains and the reveal of an updated packaging look and feel. At the beginning of 2019, O’MY Dairy Free Gelato was available in less than 100 stores, and today, the company is celebrating availability in 1,000 stores.

To make way for the new product line and up the energy of O’MY, the packaging is now more joyful, but still communicates the delicious, premium ingredients used in each product. While the clean look and prominent ingredient panel remains, the Non-GMO Project Verified logo is now on the front, along with a Certified Plant Based icon. This certification is from the Plant Based Food Association, and O’MY is one of the first brands to be using it on pack. This is all to further communicate how O’MY gelato is produced.
