In April 2018, a limited edition Choc Mint flavour was introduced, following the results of a vote from consumers about the flavour they would most like to try as a milk drink. In April 2019, a limited edition Choc Caramel flavour was introduced replacing the Choc Mint flavour. FrieslandCampina said that Choc Mint had generated £1 million within five months of launch, and that the "target audience of sixteen to twenty four year olds are always looking for new flavours to try." [6]

The bottles of 2015 were designed by Steve Trotman. The smaller bottles usually have transparent straws glued to the side, in a plastic wrapper. The larger bottles feature a tearaway tag on the label for easy recycling. Yazoo is suitable for vegetarians; it is a source of calcium, protein, B2 and B12. It is low in fat and contains no artificial sweeteners, colours or preservatives.
