We’re delighted to be bringing you a hugely exciting development for Lakeland Dairies.
Our line of award-winning VIVA flavoured milks is a central part of the largest shake-up of McDonald’s iconic Happy Meal range for more than a decade.
The world’s largest restaurant chain, McDonald’s, has selected the no added sugar VIVA range of 200ml chocolate, banana and strawberry milks to be a key part of the exciting new menu.
The trial will run for 14 weeks starting on Wednesday 29th May across 180 restaurants in the UK as well as seven restaurants in Ireland.
The addition of Lakeland Dairies’ VIVA milk range builds on the long-term relationship between McDonald’s and the co-op. The innovative Lakeland Dairies’ Milk Stick has been a mainstay in McDonald’s for many years. The iconic Happy Meal has been a staple of the McDonald’s menu for nearly 40 years having been enjoyed by children (young and old!) since 1986.
Viva flavoured milk is a core part of our portfolio of 240 products which are enjoyed in more than 100 global markets and are a key part of our added-value offering.
A huge well-done and congratulations to everyone involved in delivering this exciting development – from our farmers as well as production and commercial teams.
If you find yourself near a McDonald’s restaurant in the UK in areas such as Liverpool, Manchester, Burnley, Salford, Stockport, Wigan, Bury and Bolton of the UK or the Galway, Clare or Limerick areas of ROI, be sure to buy plenty of Happy Meals with VIVA!
