Glenisk lifts the lid on sugar
Glenisk, Ireland’s award-winning, family-run organic dairy, has introduced a new range of Organic Bio Live Yogurts, with a significantly reduced sugar content. Made with organic fruit and milk, the sugars within are largely naturally occurring milk and fruit sugars. Like all Glenisk Organic Yogurts, they are made exclusively with Irish milk and contain no artificial ingredients or sweeteners. Available in Natural, Raspberry, Strawberry and Blueberry, the new range comes in a multipack four x 125g format, priced at €2.75 RRP.
To encourage trial, Glenisk is giving away a voucher for a free pack to every customer. Details on how to get the pack are on glenisk.com.

A rigorous battle ensued between Dublin GAA stars Michael Darragh Macauley and Johnny Cooper to see who would reign victorious and impress King Of The Hill Bernard Brogan.
