WESTPORT, Conn.--()--Newman’s Own introduces Newman’s Own Greek Nonfat Yogurt to its lineup of great-tasting, philanthropy-driven products. The all-natural, five-variety line enters the Atlantic seaboard this month, from Maine to Maryland, as a delicious option in the growing healthy Greek yogurt category.

Since 1982 when Paul Newman founded Newman’s Own, all after-tax profits and royalties from the sale of Newman’s Own products have gone to charity. The funds are distributed through Newman’s Own Foundation. Over $400 million has been donated to thousands of nonprofit organizations to date.

“We’re excited about launching Greek Nonfat Yogurt,” said Dave Best, vice president, marketing, Newman’s Own. “It gives consumers a great-tasting, healthy option while supporting our philanthropic mission and contributing to the common good.”

The difference in the Newman’s Own Greek Nonfat Yogurt is the fruit – big pieces of delicious fruit on the bottom – plus a thicker, creamier yogurt texture. Newman’s Own yogurt has 12 grams of protein, five live & active cultures and zero grams of fat. It is all natural, with no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.

The five varieties of Newman’s Own Greek Nonfat Yogurt include: blueberry, pineapple, strawberry, peach and black cherry. The yogurt is available in a 5.3 oz. size and carries a suggested retail price of $1.49.

The following retailers carry Newman’s Own Greek Nonfat Yogurt in their dairy cases: Stop & Shop, Giant, Hannaford, Shaw’s, A&P, The Food Emporium, Pathmark, Waldbaum’s, Big Y and Price Chopper.
