Yakult

Yakult (ヤクルト, Yakuruto) is a probiotic dairy product made by fermenting a mixture of skimmed milk with a special strain of the bacterium Lactobacillus casei Shirota. It was created by a Japanese scientist Minoru Shirota, who graduated from the Medical School of Kyoto University in 1930.

A Yakult lady in Japan

A Yakult lady (ヤクルトレディー; Yakuruto redi-), also known as an Yakult auntie (ヤクルトおばさん; Yakuruto obasan), is a woman who sells Yakult products as an employee and/or delivers the products to individuals at their homes. They sell and market Yakult products while riding bicycles, motorcycles, or other automobiles.

In 2010, an EFSA panel concluded that a cause and effect relationship has not been established between the consumption of Lactobacillus casei strain Shirota and maintenance of the upper respiratory tract defence against pathogens by maintaining immune defences.

Packs of Yakult

Yakult opened a factory in Fountain Valley, California in the United States in 2014.
