About Yoplait (Australia)
Yoplait yoghurt in Australia is made by Bega from Australian milk, but Bega's 2025 annual report states that the Yoplait brand is used under licence, so the name itself belongs to another company. Bega sells high-protein Yoplait yoghurts and lists Yoplait with Farmers Union and Dairy Farmers as brands it will use to grow exports in Southeast Asia, North Asia and the Middle East.
