Dairy foods and dairy alternatives include milk, yoghurt, cheese and soymilk.

  • Dairy foods and soymilk are a great way to get important nutrients – calcium, vitamin B12 and vitamin B2.
  • You need two to three servings of dairy foods each day – one serving is a cup of milk or a pottle of yoghurt or 2 slices of cheese.
  • Calcium is important for strong bones and teeth. Do you know that most of the calcium in your body is stored in your bones?
  • Vitamin B12 helps to form red blood cells and nerves.
  • Vitamin B2 helps your body to release the energy from food for your body to use.
