(March 23): Danone SA agreed to buy Huel, a UK maker of fortified protein powders and drinks backed by celebrities, in a push towards the growing health nutrition market. The deal is subject to regulatory approval, Danone said in a statement on Monday, without providing financial terms. Huel sells a variety of ready-to-eat drinks that are fortified with essential nutrients including protein, fat and carbohydrates. Danone’s drinkable nutritional products include Activia yogurt, high-protein YoPRO and Actimel immune support shots. It acquired US medical nutrition company Kate Farms last year, which management has said is growing well.
