The drinks are available in three varieties – original, raspberry and peach. With sugar consumption in the spotlight in Finland, Valio touted the nutritional make-up of the drinks. It said the original, non-flavoured kefir contains no added sugar, with the two flavoured options including four grams of sugar per 100g.
