Some yoghurt products have (30) higher than 15%.

Clever branding and marketing have helped to make yoghurt a (31).

years ago, yoghurt could only be bought in (32).

The addition of (33) made yoghurt a mass-market product.

Added value means a product is being charged higher by processing, packaging or marketing raw (34) products.

In the 1980s, people started to see yoghurt as a sweet (35).

The answer is functional food. The script states, "It is fair to say that it has triggered a functional food revolution and become a multi-billion pound industry." This makes it clear that the kind of revolution yoghurt launched was a 'functional food' revolution.

Associated Text:

The answer is profit margins. The passage says, "Some specialised, heavily-packaged yoghurts have profit margins over 15%, which is, of course, a figure manufacturers dream of." This indicates what some yoghurt products have that is higher than 15%.

Associated Text:

The answer is success. The part of the script that supports this is: "Add clever branding and marketing and you have a recipe for success." Therefore, branding and marketing made yoghurt a 'success.'

Associated Text:
Add clever branding and marketing and you have a recipe for success.

The answer is health shops. The script says, "But just 60 years ago, the yoghurt market did not even exist. Yoghurt was only really found in health shops." This directly answers where yoghurt could only be bought years ago.

Associated Text:
Yoghurt was only really found in health shops.

The answer is sugar. The relevant text is, "With added sugar and real fruit, it was an instant hit and launched a yoghurt revolution on our supermarket shelves." The addition of sugar made yoghurt a mass-market product.

Associated Text:

The answer is commodity. The passage states, "Added value is where you take something that is a basic, cheap, raw commodity product like milk, and start processing it or packaging it or marketing it in a way that moves it up the chain so you can charge more for what you're doing." The correct term here is 'commodity.'

Associated Text:
Added value is where you take something that is a basic, cheap, raw commodity product like milk, and start processing it or packaging it or marketing it in a way that moves it up the chain so you can charge more for what you're doing.

The answer is treat. The passage supplies: "The so-called 'Muller Corner' transformed the yoghurt market, turning a traditionally healthy food into a sweet, luxurious treat." Therefore, in the 1980s, people started to see yoghurt as a sweet treat.

Associated Text:
The so-called 'Muller Corner' transformed the yoghurt market, turning a traditionally healthy food into a sweet, luxurious treat.

How quickly did the UK probiotic market grow?

From (39)£ million in 1997 to 

£62 million in (40).

The answer is bacteria. The script says: "Probiotic yoghurts have special strands of bacteria added in. It is claimed that these provide health benefits to the consumer." Thus, probiotics are yoghurts containing special bacteria.

Associated Text:

The answer is unknown. The relevant phrase is, "But in 1996, when Japanese firm Yakult first launched in the UK, they were completely unknown." This tells us their status before 1996.

Associated Text:
But in 1996, when Japanese firm Yakult first launched in the UK, they were completely unknown.

The answer is potential. The passage says, "French dairy giant Danone quickly realised the potential of the little bottle of bacteria and was probably the only company in the whole of Europe to see the potential of this daily dose bottle of healthy bacteria." This shows Danone was quick to recognise its potential.

Associated Text:
French dairy giant Danone quickly realised the potential of the little bottle of bacteria and was probably the only company in the whole of Europe to see the potential of this daily dose bottle of healthy bacteria.

The answer is 3. The script says, "In just three years from its launch in 1997, Danone grew the UK probiotic market from £3m to £62m." So, the market grew in three years.

Associated Text:
In just three years from its launch in 1997, Danone grew the UK probiotic market from £3m to £62m.

The answer is 2000. It is stated, "In just three years from its launch in 1997, Danone grew the UK probiotic market from £3m to £62m." Adding three years to 1997 gives 2000 as the answer.

Associated Text:
In just three years from its launch in 1997, Danone grew the UK probiotic market from £3m to £62m.
