Yellofruit

Yellofruit is a Canadian brand of non-dairy frozen desserts made from bananas by Froebel Products Ltd. Created by Andrew Kinnear and Claire Lysnes as a dairy-free alternative to ice cream, it launched into hundreds of grocery stores across Canada in 2019, including chains such as Loblaws and Metro.

No longer operating — No longer trading, on the evidence of its domain: yellofruit.ca has forwarded to a Communer listing offering the Yellofruit trademark and domain names for sale since at least 2023-04-13 (checked 2026-10-15), yellofruit.com returns 404, and no page after 2019 shows the product on sale. No acquisition was found in two searches, and no page gives a closure date.
