Danone has reported strong sales growth, beating what analysts had expected. The French food company said like-for-like sales rose 4.2% in one quarter, above the 3.6% analysts had forecast.
The biggest drivers were high-protein yogurts and drinks designed for elderly or sick people who need extra nutrition. These medical nutrition products grew strongly in the Americas and in China.
Danone also saw good results from products that support gut health and from functional water, which is water with added health benefits.
