In 2024, Silver Pail Dairy continued to prioritise health and nutrition in its product development, achieving a measurable reduction in sugar content across its sorbet and ice cream ranges. The average sugar content decreased from 73.9 g/l in 2023 to 73.5 g/l in 2024, outperforming the milestone target by 1.5%.

A key driver of this improvement was the successful launch of new product lines focused on nutritional and functional benefits. Among these were a new high-protein ice creams which cater to growing consumer demand for protein-enriched treats. These products offer indulgence with added nutritional value, appealing to health-conscious shoppers seeking balance in their diets.

Silver Pail Dairy also expanded its range of no added sugar ice creams, further supporting its mission to reduce sugar intake across its portfolio.
