How is the Indian Vio made?

Coca-Cola India developed it at its research center in Gurgaon and piloted it in January 2016 in 500 Reliance Retail stores. Coca-Cola said the launch used its supply chain with the dairy farming community, and the flavors are saffron, pistachio and almond. The company said it contains no preservatives. It is packed in aseptic cartons, which are sterile packs designed to protect the drink without refrigeration until opened. A trade report (just-food) names Schreiber Dynamix Dairies as the contract manufacturer. We did not find a published full ingredient list, so read the carton.

How was the US Vio made?

According to The Grocer, it was a carbonated drink of skimmed milk and cream, tested from June 2009 in New York delis and specialty stores. Details of the process were not published, and we could not confirm whether it is still sold.

Is Vio lactose free or fortified?

Claims like lactose free, fortified with vitamins or low calorie were not in the sources we checked, so do not assume them. Check the nutrition panel on the pack, since formulas differ by market.

Is it a healthy drink?

Flavored milks usually contain added sugar, so look at the sugar per serving on the label.
