Flash forward 15 years and Chobani is Australia's #1 yogurt brand, living in the hearts (and tummies) of fans across the country.

At Chobani it's always been about more than yogurt. Access to delicious and nutritious food should be a right, not a privilege. Chobani Australia is building the next chapter of growth – investing in major site upgrades and new capability to meet demand and deliver on our aspiration: in every fridge, everywhere, every day. Yogurt is one of the fastest growing categories in Australian grocery, driven by high protein, healthy options and convenient formats – creating genuine growth opportunity for our customers and our team.
