General Mills has had the distribution rights for thirty years, but bought 51% of Yoplait in 2011. When I was checking the date earlier, found this comment:

Quote:
Among the earlier bidders for Yoplait was China's Bright Foods. But in France, where the government has deemed yogurt a strategic asset, the potential sale to a Chinese company was viewed with skepticism. General Mills' existing relationship with Yoplait made a deal with the U.S. company more politically palatable.
Swiss or French, since when is yogurt a strategic asset?
