Product[edit | edit source]

Vi-Co is a ready-to-drink chocolate milk that comes in a variety of sizes, including single-serve bottles and larger, family-sized containers. The product is made from real milk and cocoa, and is often praised for its rich, creamy taste. In addition to the original chocolate flavor, Vi-Co also offers a variety of other flavors, including strawberry and vanilla.

Production[edit | edit source]

The production of Vi-Co involves a process known as pasteurization, which is used to kill harmful bacteria and extend the product's shelf life. The milk is first heated to a high temperature and then quickly cooled before being mixed with cocoa and other ingredients. The mixture is then packaged and distributed to retailers across Canada.
