Lactalis, a French family business and the world’s leading dairy company, has announced that it has finalised the acquisition of Protein Works, a UK-based company specialising in active nutrition products.

Lactalis UK & Ireland is expanding its Leerdammer brand into cheese snacking with the launch of Leerdammer Mini Cubes, a bite-sized product designed to help retailers meet growing demand for convenient, taste-led snacking options.

Galbani is driving further growth in the category with the launch of two new products designed to drive premiumisation and unlock new usage occasions. Galbani Burrata Minis and Galbani Mozzarella Basil Infusion bring added convenience and product differentiation, giving retailers new ways to drive trial and broaden appeal beyond more traditional occasions.
