Parents looking for an extra nutritional boost for their kids have a new option: Borden Kid Builder, available in chocolate and strawberry flavors. Borden, one of America’s favorite dairy companies founded in 1857, today launched its first 2% no-sugar-added milk geared just for kids, with 50% more protein (13g per 240mL serving) and calcium (490mg per 240mL serving) than regular milk. Kid Builder is a dairy product made from cows not treated with the artificial growth hormone rbST.
“Growing kids need protein, calcium, vitamins and minerals to build strong bodies and minds. But getting them to eat enough of these key nutrients can be a challenge,” said Borden Vice President of Research and Development Nick Suffredin. “Whether offering the energy they need for that fun playdate or providing a tasty after-school snack, Kid Builder, with no added sugar, is an excellent high-protein option.”
Borden has provided trusted and nutritious products to families for more than a century. Elsie the Cow, first introduced by Borden in 1936, is one of America’s most iconic brand mascots. Elsie is best known as a mom, sharing her motherly wisdom and stories about her calves Beulah, Beauregard, Larabee and Lobelia. Beauregard, who graces the front of the product package, is Elsie’s notoriously picky-eater son who served as the inspiration behind Kid Builder.
The Kid Builder launch comes months after Borden’s recent transformation with new leadership and an optimistic vision to bring its nutritious and delicious dairy products to more families.
“Kid Builder is Borden’s first new product in some time and highlights the company’s recent focus on product innovation informed by consumer insights,” said Borden Chief Marketing Officer Joe DePetrillo. “This product is just the beginning of an exciting period of innovation at Borden.”
