SIG Drinksplus enables TH true MILK’s launch of UHT chocomalt snack drinks with oats or nata de coco in aseptic cartons

TH true MILK, a major player and innovator in Vietnam’s dairy and beverage sector, continues to expand its product offering with the launch of two new snack drinks for children: Chocomalt with hearty oats or chewy nata de coco – both offering a fun and nutritious snacking experience in a convenient aseptic carton. This marks TH true MILK’s expansion of its dairy portfolio, made possible with the SIG Drinksplus technology.

Riding on the success of its previous snack drink launch, TH true MILK LIGHT MEAL, a nutritious blend of milk, oat flakes, and nuts, TH true MILK continues to innovate. The new chocomalt snack drinks not only cater to Vietnamese consumers’ growing appetite for healthy indulgence but also leverages a technology that allows filling of beverages with real, perceptible pieces of grains, fruit, vegetables, nuts or jelly into aseptic cartons using SIG’s standard aseptic carton filling machines for beverages.

The new products combine chocomalt, a blend of natural barley and cacao extract, with either chewy nata de coco or hearty rolled oats, and delivers a unique multi-sensory drinking experience. Consumers can enjoy the texture and taste of wholesome ingredients ready-to-drink in a convenient packaging solution.

The proven SIG Drinksplus technology empowers beverage manufacturers to aseptically fill carton packs with beverages containing up to 10 % particulate content using standard SIG filling machines for beverages. All it needs is an easy-to-install ‘SIG Drinksplus upgrade kit’. The bits, adding extra value to the beverages, can be up to six millimeters in length and width. The drinking straws for those products can be up to eight millimeters in diameter and make drinking the products easy and fun. SIG Drinksplus opens the door to brand new products and categories, helping f&b companies to meet new consumer trends and address new consumer segments and consumption occasions.

The cornerstone of the technology is SIG’s advantageous sleeve system where each carton sleeve is individually shaped, filled and ultrasonically sealed above the filling level and not through the product – providing aseptic safety of the product.
