Westlake Village-based Dole Food Company recently partnered with yogurt company TCBY to create three new yogurt flavors. TCBY’s new flavors — Juicy Peach, Strawberry Splash and Pineapple Splash — are made with Dole fruit. “These refreshing flavors boast the traditional health benefits of TCBY yogurt plus the nutritional properties of Dole’s delicious fruit,” said Tim Casey, CEO of Salt Lake City-based TCBY. “It makes for a great combination we know our fans will love.” This marks another strategic partnership for Dole, which generates some $7 billion annually. The company has struck several agreements in the past 12 months in an effort to strengthen its divisions and expand into other platforms. Last year, it entered into a partnership with Healthy Foods LLC, which produces a frozen treat-making device called Yonanas. This year, the company announced the acquisition of Mrs. May’s Naturals, a healthy snack maker based in Carson.
