Join Actimel in supporting the Pasteur Institute

:: The initiative described here is intended principally for the French public.

Over the past 150 years, the Pasteur Institute has saved millions of lives with groundbreaking medical research, not least into infectious diseases and the immune system.

Since 2005, researchers from Danone and the Institute have been working together on ferments and probiotics, including those contained in Actimel, to better understand their effects on the human organism.

Today, Danone looks beyond this scientific partnership to offer direct financial support for the Pasteur Institute, a not-for-profit, public-interest organization that is to a large extent dependent on private donations.

A step forward through better understanding

This year, Actimel is continuing its financial support to the Pasteur Institute’s research with the launch of an operation called “Buy 1 Actimel package = Donate 1 € to the Pasteur Institute” (with a code entered on actimel.fr). It will last until end October 2009.
