At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

Dairy Crest unveils Promovita prebiotic gut health shot

Dairy Crest has unveiled its first consumer product under the Promovita brand – in the form of a prebiotic shot destined to take on the likes of Yakult and Actimel.

The product represents Dairy Crest’s first bid to take a chunk out of the burgeoning market for digestive remedies, predicted to hit £333m in the UK by 2021 [Euromonitor].

Yakult and Actimel are both probiotics, which contain live bacteria such as lactobacillus casei, which are beneficial to gut health. As a prebiotic, Promovita contains galacto-oligosaccharides – also known as GOS – an indigestible fibre derived from lactose that ferments in the gut and feeds bacteria including bifidobacteria and lactobacilli.

The ambient liquid sachets will be marketed as a high-fibre digestive supplement, and follow warnings that 90% of consumers ate less fibre than their recommended daily intake. According to the British Nutrition Foundation, the average woman consumed 17.2 of fibre per day and men 20.1g, meaning the majority were well below the recommended average intake for adults of 30g.

Each “naturally sweet” 8g shot provides 5.3g of GOS and 2.6g of fibre. The brand gained its first listing in Ocado from 25 January, while Amazon to follow in stocking the sachets from next month (rsp: £12.99/28x8g).
