Yakult was the first probiotic fermented milk drink of its kind to be introduced to Australians back in 1994. Since then, many copy-cat products have appeared which have caused confusion to many shoppers.
Yakult only makes Yakult branded products and do not make any of the copy-cat versions. While Yakult differs from the copy-cats in many ways, including using quality Australian ingredients, use-by date labelled on each bottle and the Lactobacillus casei Shirota strain, how can you be sure you are choosing the genuine Yakult product when you are at the shops?
