Press release:
Alpina Foods announced today they are launching the first-ever line of yogurt infused with real coffee called Alpina Café Selections. The new lineup includes Mocha, Caramel Macchiato, Vanilla Latte, and Coffee. The combination of smooth creamy Greek yogurt and the robust bold taste of real coffee makes Alpina Café Selection a perfect addition to anyone's morning or afternoon routine.
The line of Alpina Café Selections – different than anything that can be found on the market today -- uses real Colombian coffee and not "coffee flavoring" found in the dairy aisle. An excellent source of calcium, Café Selections also includes protein and caffeine and, at only 120 calories per cup, they provide a great option for breakfast or afternoon snack break.
"Thirty-four percent of Americans drinks coffee, higher than soda consumption. Specialty coffee makes up a large percentage of this growth, which is why we decided to launch Alpina Café Selections," said Gustavo Badino, Alpina Foods' general manager. "We are always looking to innovate in the dairy aisle. Once we found a recipe that tasted just like the consumer's favorite flavor and were able to include actual Colombian coffee, we knew we had a unique product the consumer would want and enjoy."
An alternative to sugary snacks and drinks, Alpina Café Selections are high in protein (12 grams) and calcium (20 percent), have 0 grams of fat, and provide 30-50 mg of caffeine (the equivalent to about half a cup of coffee) – perfect choice to help power anyone through their day.
Alpina Café Selections is sold in select regional and independent retailers including, ShopRite, Shaw's, Fairway Markets and Lowe's Markets, with plans to expand its distribution this summer; follow @alpinaUSA for updates.
Alpina Foods manufactures a variety of dairy products available in retailers throughout the United States, including Wal-Mart, Shaw's, Wegmans Food Markets, ShopRite, Duane Reade, Western Beef, and other national, regional, and independent food retailers.

I am a coffee lover and this
I am a coffee lover and this yogurt doesn't even come close to tasting like coffee.....very bitter. imo of course
When is Alpina going to come
When is Alpina going to come close to providing all the jobs that the GCEDC said they were going to, in exchange for the 'taxpayer funded subsidies and tax breaks' that lured Alpina to locate here???
They were another one who
They were another one who used the "job center" to hire their temp workers from the temp agencies. Whatever happened to filling out an application at the place you are trying to get a job at, getting an interview with a boss at the place you are trying to get a job at?What did they do after around 6 months? They laid off a bunch of those temp workers! It`s the ruination of our country.
jim....now they are letting
jim....now they are letting go all the permanent employees and replacing them with temps....to me thats jeopardizing the integrity of the place...I'm sure these temps dont practice or care about food safety or gmp;s like the permanent employee's did...i would bet that most of the temps dont even know what gmp means
Temp jobs are jobs, right? So
Temp jobs are jobs, right? So what if you don't get benefits and your pay is $9 an hour? It's a created job, thanks to due diligence by the wonderful fat cats at the GCEDC. (This is where the dripping sarcasm should be apparent)
Where are all those
Where are all those government officials who had to have their picture taken?...Are they around when Alpina is handing out pink slips..What about all those high paying jobs?are they paying back the PILOT they never full-filled?This is what GCEDC call a win for all......Just to refresh everyone's memory......

It is an absolute joke that
It is an absolute joke that these companies keep getting away with this temp crap! This is what I want the politicians to fix. I don`t care if they are Republican or Democrat, this is an issue that needs to be resolved. Big business is getting away with the destruction of our whole nation. No politician will ever change it either because the politicians are all millionaires involved in big business. You get penalized for being a good worker in today`s world and in the end, Alpina will be gone too just like the other factories have gone. The companies get rid of good workers to stay with temporary cheaper workers with no benefits and then wonder why the production fails. I don`t understand how big business wants to keep their employees struggling and unhappy.
couldnt have said it better
couldnt have said it better myself jim....especially the line about getting penalized for being a good worker
