Your Favourite UAE Dairy Products Are Getting A Healthier Upgrade
Reducing sugar intake has become a growing priority for many families across the UAE, and now some of the country’s most recognisable dairy brands are taking steps to make that easier.
Al Ain Farms Group (AAFG), the company behind Al Ain Farms and Marmum Dairy, has announced plans to reduce added sugars by 10 to 20 per cent across selected products as part of Abu Dhabi’s Healthy Living Strategy.
The initiative reflects a wider shift towards creating healthier everyday food choices without compromising on the taste consumers know and love.
What’s Changing?
The reformulation programme will focus on popular household staples including flavoured milk, yoghurt and laban products from both Al Ain Farms and Marmum Dairy.
The updated products are expected to begin appearing on shelves ahead of the Back-to-School season in September 2026, giving families more nutritious options for lunchboxes and everyday consumption.
Why It Matters
Rather than asking consumers to completely change their eating habits, the initiative focuses on improving products that are already part of daily life.
With growing awareness around the impact of excessive sugar consumption, particularly among children and teenagers, reducing sugar in commonly consumed products can play a meaningful role in supporting healthier lifestyles.
The announcement follows the launch of a new health-focused product range by AAFG earlier this year, signalling a broader commitment to nutrition-led innovation.
As wellness continues to shape food choices across the UAE, initiatives like this show how brands are adapting to meet the demand for healthier options while keeping convenience, quality and taste firmly on the menu.
