Alpina Foods

What Alpina Foods does

Alpina Foods operates in the US market through Sunlight Foods Inc., a Florida-registered entity headquartered in Doral (8750 NW 36th St. Suite 650), distributing shelf-stable dairy and oat-based beverages under the Alpina brand. The company's core technical capability is UHT/high heat pasteurization, applied at 4 FDA-registered, ISO 22000-certified production facilities in Colombia, which yields 150-day to 1-year ambient shelf life and removes the cold-chain dependency that constrains most dairy distribution. The US product portfolio comprises Bon Yurt (fermented yogurt beverage), Avena Alpina (oat dairy drink), Dulce de Leche (milk caramel spread), and Yogo Yogo (yogurt drink), sold as individual cases at $38-120 and as combo bundles.

Distribution spans mass and Hispanic-focused US retail — Walmart, Publix, Winn-Dixie, Walgreens, ShopRite, Sedanos, Bravo, President, Supermercados El Bodegon, Food Bazaar, and Trade Fair — combined with a BETA direct-to-consumer Shopify storefront that processes orders weekly. Marketing is run through Instagram, TikTok, an email newsletter, and a recipe blog, with a bilingual English/Español website targeting US Hispanic consumers. The US entity operates with 1-10 employees, indicating a lean distribution-focused subsidiary structure rather than a standalone US manufacturer.
