The world’s largest yogurt maker is betting waste-conscious consumers will try snacks made with misfit produce.

Danone SA’s Two Good line of dairy snacks is adding Good Save, a new yogurt brand that uses surplus produce or rejected fruit deemed too ugly for store shelves, the Paris-based company said Wednesday in a statement. Rescued lemons are the key ingredient for the first flavor, and another variety will begin selling in the second half of 2021.
