Brands Owned by Danone: Alpro, Evian, Activia and More

Alpro, Silk, Activia and Evian are all in Danone’s portfolio. A plant-based drink, a dairy yoghurt and a bottled water can therefore lead back to the same corporate group.

For readers comparing companies, this is a useful ownership fact. It does not mean those products have identical environmental impacts or serve interchangeable nutritional needs.

Danone’s brands by aisle

Danone’s current brand directory separates its business into dairy and plant-based products, waters, and specialised nutrition. Selected names include:

Availability and branding differ by country. The specialised nutrition overview explains the last category; it is distinct from an ordinary grocery comparison. This is a selected portfolio map, not a complete list of every local brand.

Who owns Alpro and Silk?

Both appear in Danone’s dairy and plant-based portfolio. Choosing a plant-based product from either brand does not, by itself, mean choosing an independent plant-based company.

That does not invalidate someone’s reasons for buying the product. Ingredient preferences, dietary needs, taste and environmental priorities can be different from a preference about corporate ownership. State which question you are trying to answer before treating one fact as a verdict on the whole purchase.

Is Horizon Organic still a Danone brand?

Older brand maps need correction here. The business announced the completion of Platinum Equity’s majority acquisition of Horizon Organic and Wallaby on 2 April 2024.

“Majority acquisition” is the useful description of that transaction. It should not be simplified into a claim that there can be no remaining financial connection. Nor should an old Danone logo map be used to present Horizon as an unchanged, wholly controlled Danone brand.

This illustrates why a dated deal-completion notice is more informative than an undated ownership infographic.

What the parent-company link does and does not tell you

Ownership helps identify where to look for group-wide governance, reporting and sourcing policies. It does not show that a policy has been implemented at every supplier or that all products have the same footprint.

For environmental comparisons, ask what is being measured: an ingredient, a litre of finished drink, packaging, transport, or the full product lifecycle. Comparing a plant-based carton with bottled water tells you little unless the products serve the same purpose in the decision you are making.

For a company-conduct claim, identify the relevant subsidiary and date. A divestment can change who controls future decisions without erasing historical conduct.

A practical check before switching

Read the brand’s local legal or contact page, verify its relationship in a current corporate portfolio, and check for completed sales. Keep the country and research date beside the result.
