AMSTERDAM, Aug. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — After earning the title of the world’s most valuable dairy brand, according to a new report released by Brand Finance on August 20, Yili has once again secured its spot among the global top five on Rabobank’s annual Global Dairy Top 20 list, which was released on August 26.

Rabobank’s annual Global Dairy Top 20 list ranks the world’s leading dairy companies based on their sales and financial performance. It’s one of the most influential rankings within the dairy industry. This year, competition has intensified, leading to significant changes in the rankings. Less than half of the companies have maintained their previous positions, and seven have slipped in the rankings. One dairy company has even fallen out of the top 20 altogether.

Yili has continued to strengthen its leading edge by expanding its global value chains. The company has achieved 31 consecutive years of steady revenue growth, cementing its position as one of the world’s top five dairy companies and maintaining its undisputed leadership in the Asian dairy market. In 2023, the company reported a total revenue of 126.179 billion yuan and a net profit of 10.429 billion yuan, surpassing previous records. This growth was driven by the company’s commitment to quality, innovation, digitalization, and operational efficiency, as well as strategic adjustments to its product portfolio and sales model. Yili’s performance in overseas markets has been very impressive. Its sub-brands Cremo and Joyday have gained popularity in Southeast Asia, and the company has made inroads into the African market. Overall, Yili’s international revenue increased by a substantial 10.08% year-over-year, with products sold in over 60 countries and regions. This growth is a testament to the increasing consumer demand for Yili’s products worldwide. In the first quarter of 2024, Yili reported a total revenue of 32.577 billion yuan and a net profit of 5.923 billion yuan.

Rabobank’s report points out that the global dairy market has remained on an upward trajectory, and dairy companies are adjusting their strategies to maintain growth momentum. As one of the world’s top five dairy companies and Asia’s largest, Yili is at the forefront of driving high-quality development within the industry. Its commitment to high-quality development has not only contributed to its steady growth but has also propelled it closer to its vision of becoming a globally trusted provider of healthy food.

A ‘major time-saver’: This bestselling veggie chopper is 50% off for Labor Day

0

A vegetable chopper must be doing something right to amass over 81,000 five-star ratings on Amazon. So what sets the No. 1 bestselling Fullstar 4-In-1 Vegetable Chopper apart? Unlike choppers where you have to keep pulling a string to slice your veggies, this gizmo gives you a uniform dice in one fell swoop. Plus, it comes with four interchangeable blades if you want to switch up the shape of your produce. Even better? It’s marked down to $25 (from $50) during Amazon’s Labor Day sales event.

Amazon

Here’s an easy, affordable way to prepare all of those veggies during your bountiful fall harvest.

Save $25 with coupon

$25 at Amazon

Why is it a good deal? 💰

The 50% price chop drops this cult favorite to the lowest price we’ve ever seen. Even so, when you consider the amount of time and effort it’ll save you, that’s pretty priceless, no?

Why do I need this? 🤔

Even those of us who love cooking don’t feel like chopping vegetables every now and then — and others absolutely detest it. With this vegetable chopper, what used to take a considerable amount of time now takes seconds.

Place your vegetable of choice over one of the dice blades fitted to the chopper (it comes with one large and one small), press the lever down and bam: You’ll have perfectly cubed produce that falls right into the attached storage container, keeping messes off your counter. You’ll want to make sure your vegetable is trimmed small enough to fit over the blade, but that’s so much easier than having to cut up the entire thing. (Oh, and if you’re prone to sobbing whenever you cut an onion, this will spare you!)

In addition to a dicing blade, the Fullstar comes with spiral and ribbon blades (zoodles, anyone?) and there’s a finger guard to help protect against painful nicks and cuts. Speaking of pain, this chopper is suitable for anyone with arthritis or weak hands because it takes much of the effort out of slicing and dicing. The soft-grip handle and nonslip base also offer more stability.

Cleaning is pretty convenient too, since the chopper can be disassembled and placed on the top rack of your dishwasher. You’ll also get a cleaning brush and two cleaning scrapers to help scrub residue from the corners of the blades, but use caution — they’re sharper than they look.

What reviewers say 💬

Over 81,000 Amazon customers are smitten with their Fullstar Vegetable Chopper.

Pros 👍

“Impressive!” said one happy home cook. “It makes chopping up small veggies like baby carrots, onions and celery a breeze! I’m a senior now with arthritis, and this really helps speed things up in the kitchen while giving my achy hands and fingers a break from the rigors of manually chopping up everything.”

“Where have you been all my life?” mused another satisfied shopper. “I hate chopping fruit and vegetables, but I like to make my own food … I am so impressed with the performance. I chopped 1.5 pounds of carrots, one apple and one small onion in no time for ginger carrot soup … I was eating that soup by the time it would have normally taken to chop all those ingredients by hand.”

“The built-in container is a game-changer when it comes to maintaining a clean and organized kitchen,” shared a third fan. “As you chop or spiralize, the container neatly collects the ingredients, minimizing mess and saving precious counter space. The transparent design allows for easy monitoring of the food prep progress, adding a practical touch to the overall functionality.”

Cons 👎

Some reviewers noted that de-gunking the blades can be tricky. “My only complaint is it is not super easy to clean, and the blades are extremely sharp, so you need to be careful,” wrote one. “If you clean it immediately after use with a spray faucet and use the brush that comes with it, it certainly helps.”

Several buyers had the same complaint as this user, who wrote, “I wish the top locked into the base so that you didn’t have to hold them together. It’s just a little cumbersome.” That said, they also called it “amazing for meal prep.”

This veggie chopper is also available in black or this gray-green combo.

How ’bout some freshly minced garlic to go with that pasta primavera? Amazon shoppers love this rolling helper for quicker meal prep.

Amazon

If garlic is a staple in your house, you’ll use this all the time — not only does it make easy work of chopping up multiple cloves at a time, it’ll also help prevent smelly fingers.

“So far, I have really enjoyed using this handy little tool,” wrote a satisfied user. “With its sturdy design, it’s proven to be quite the workhorse in my kitchen. The compact size is a real space-saver, fitting snugly within my cluttered drawers. The best part? It’s remarkably easy to use. No more wrestling with awkward tools or worrying about nicking my fingers.”

$17 at Amazon

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)

With Labor Day weekend nearly here, millions of Americans are expected to hit the road or take to the skies for a quick, end-of-summer-season getaway.

Domestic travel is up 9% this Labor Day weekend compared to last year, according to an Aug. 19 report from the American Automobile Association.

Plus, travel costs are down slightly from last year as well, AAA said, and the national average for gas prices has dropped about 30 cents compared to 2023. 

5 SECRET SUMMER-TRAVEL PACKING HACKS TO MAXIMIZE CARRY-ON SPACE AND MINIMIZE STRESS

“Despite the popularity of summer road trips, overall gas demand is down as daily driving habits have changed post-pandemic, preventing pump prices from spiking,” according to the release, although that may change if a hurricane were to hit the Gulf Coast, AAA warned.

Read on for some additional tips and tricks for smart travel. 

1. Watch your timing

Although it is not always possible to leave for a road trip at a specific time, there are certain times that should be avoided if at all possible, according to a recent study by INRIX, a software company that provides traffic updates.

The absolute peak time for Labor Day weekend travel will be Thursday, Aug. 29, from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., the organization said.

Thursday will be the “overall busiest day” for travel by car, it said. 

Other peak times for traveling by car that should be avoided are the following:

  • Friday, Aug. 30, between 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. 
  • Saturday, Aug. 31, between 8 a.m. and 11 a.m.
  • Sunday, Sept. 1, between 2 p.m. and 8 p.m.

If at all possible, travelers should aim to leave before 11 a.m. on Thursday, before noon or after 7 p.m. on Friday, after noon on Saturday, and before noon on Sunday, INRIX said in data provided to Fox News Digital.

Roads are also expected to be quite busy on Monday and Tuesday, INRIX said, as people return home from their vacations. 

If possible, travelers should avoid driving from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday and leave before 10 a.m., it said.

Roads will be busiest on Tuesday between 8 a.m. and noon — and the best travel time will be after 1 p.m., it said. 

2. Reserve airport parking before leaving home 

Many airports allow people to reserve and pay for parking before they get to the garage – even days before a trip. 

This is sometimes a way to save money. And during busy travel times like Labor Day weekend, it can be a huge relief to arrive at the airport and know that you won’t see a “garage full” sign.

3. Arrive earlier than necessary 

If taking a plane or train during the holiday weekend, it is good practice to arrive earlier than anticipated.

Doing this means that traffic jams, parking problems and long lines at security – or any other surprises – will not throw a wrench into travel plans.

4. Avoid checking a bag if you can

An emergency kit for a car should also contain jumper cables, first-aid items and a flashlight, according to AAA’s website.

6. Check your car before leaving

Before embarking on a trip, “check your oil, tires and battery,” AAA told Fox News Digital.

Step on it! Some of Amazon’s comfiest sandals are up to 65% off for Labor Day

0

A good pair of sandals is worth its weight in gold, but we believe you shouldn’t have to pay precious-metal prices for foot comfort. That’s why we’ve scoured Amazon for the best discounts on sandals, flip-flops and more as Labor Day sales get rolling. Looking for quality slides? These picks from Adidas are classics for a reason, and they’re under $20. Need a strappy pair that will actually stay put during all your adventures? We suggest these Skechers, nearly 30% off. And if you just want a cozy pair of flip-flops to wear until your toes start to freeze, Clarks (45% off!) are always a great bet. All of these options and more are marked down thanks to Amazon’s Labor Day sale — so step on it before the discounts disappear.

Amazon

Those flimsy flip-flops from last season won’t do you any favors, but these cushy sandals were designed with conditions like plantar fasciitis and arthritis in mind. They’ve got built-in arch support and shock-absorbing midsoles for relief, and their lightweight feel will put some pep in your step — especially when you snag ’em for 55% off.

These sleek sandals are classics for a reason — they go with every casual outfit under the sun, not to mention they have cushy Cloudfoam footbeds. They’re the ultimate “slip-’em-on-and-go” shoe, and even celebs like Courteney Cox are fans.

You may claim to have looked at clouds from both sides now, but you’ve never experienced them like this. Over 13,000 shoppers love these sandals, and a surprising number of reviewers liken the experience of wearing them to, well, walking on clouds!

The shoes, crafted with cushy EVA, feature a thick rubber sole for protection and durability. The combination of materials makes the shoes supportive and gives your feet relief even if you wear them all day, fans say.

These highly rated sandals (over 3,500 five-star reviews on Amazon) are easy to put on and take off — no zippers or buckles here — and they’re mega-stretchy too, so they won’t dig into the sides of your feet. And did we mention how stylish these go-anywhere, budget-friendly kicks are? 

“I’ve had women stop me on the street to ask who makes these sandals! They are more classic stylish than trendy,” says Yahoo Senior Beauty Editor Jennifer Romolini.

Fans love these slides for that walking-on-air feel, but they have another big asset: They’re waterproof, so you can wear them to the pool, at the sauna or in the shower without damaging them. And their nonslip soles will keep you stable even in the wettest situations. But there’s plenty more to love about them — most importantly, comfort. Their flexibility and molded cushion footbed ensure you’ll feel both cozy and supported.

Choose from 30 colors ranging from basic black and brown to popping purples and pinks. Prices vary by color.

These sleek flip-flops feature a cushioned foam footbed that is made from the same material as your favorite soft yoga mat (yes, really). They also boast thong straps that are made with 100% recycled polyester and a durable rubber outsole that has a rugged bottom for extra traction. There are over 10 colors to choose from, so you’re bound to find a pair (or two) that suits your style. 

“I have worn these for years and love them. They conform to my feet and offer good support,” said this buyer. “They are super durable. I wear them in the garden, get them wet and muddy, and hose them off when I’m done. They dry overnight and feel like new the next day.”

Stylish yet sturdy, these crowd-pleasers have over 74,000 five-star ratings. They aren’t just for the beach; feel free to step into them at home or before heading out for the day.  

“Clarks offer a lot of support,” says board-certified podiatrist Dr. Polina Zaydenberg. “Most of the shoes have wider toe boxes, which helps prevent bunions, hammertoes and neuromas.” She adds that Clarks are great for people with flat feet. Arthritis sufferers are big fans too.

“Fell in love with them so much that I pretty much wore them from wake up to bedtime. … I even bought toe socks so I could wear these are fall comes around. I plan to wear these until they literally fall apart, and then I will be back for more,” said one fan

These sandals boast a flexible cork footbed and supple suede insole that contours to your foot with wear. See those adjustable straps? They’re perfect for those with narrow or wide feet who need to customize their fit. Zaydenberg says they’re a great pick for people with metatarsalgia (pain and inflammation in the ball of your foot) and plantar fasciitis.

“I bought these after my podiatrist recommended Birkenstock-style shoes,” shared an Amazon shopper. “I only have a pair of regular-footbed Birkies to compare these to, but they are very similar in terms of the foot-shaped lining and arch support. They fit perfectly on my wide feet and did not hurt nearly as much to break in as real Birkies!”

Looking for comfortable walking sandals you can go for miles in? Thousands of shoppers recommend this option from Chaco, and how about that 65% discount? The crisscrossing straps and toe loop keep your foot in place, while the brand’s patented Luvseat technology provides “durability, daylong comfort and arch support.” The ChacoGrip outsoles will help keep you from slipping and sliding, and the sandals have an adjustable lock buckle at the ankle.

“These are some of the best shoes I’ve ever worn!” raved this buyer. “They’re so comfortable and they actually look cute, in my opinion, despite being a little bulky. I tried these mainly because I needed sandals with good arch support but had had some issues with Birkenstocks, which were my usual go-to. … I can walk for miles and while my legs might hurt, my feet never do.”

These cute kicks feature polyester straps with Velcro, including a backstrap, that are super soft against the skin. The sandals are fully adjustable thanks to the hook-and-loop straps, so you can find your ideal fit and not worry about them slipping or sliding. They also have a contoured footbed for comfort and a durable rubber sole, and they’re quick-drying. 

“I can’t say enough good things about these Teva sandals,” said a fan. “They are very supportive in the sole and I love that the Velcro straps adjust for my wider foot. These are easy to clean — I just throw them in the machine and let them air-dry. These can get wet while you wear them and dry pretty quickly.”

I can personally attest to the quality of these comfy Skechers picks — I wore ’em for up to 12 hours a day on a 10-day adventure through Italy and had no complaints! Even after long, long days of walking the streets of Rome, Florence and Milan, these sandals were perfect for staying cool and comfortable while pounding the pavement, and I definitely noticed the difference when I had to swap them for my closed-toed shoes. They’re cushioned and supportive, and they felt so sturdy that it never seemed like they’d come flying off my feet even when we were hustling between destinations.

These rugged waterproof sandals are so popular, they’ve earned nearly 18,000 five-star reviews on Amazon. It’s easy to see why — not only do they feature a footbed that offers ample arch support, but they boast a molded EVA midsole that customers say is as comfortable as their favorite pair of running shoes. The cushioned sandals also have a closed-toe design to protect your feet from the elements, a bungee lace capture system to help you create a custom fit and a durable rubber outsole that provides excellent traction, making them a sturdy option for a day on the trails. 

“These are the ultimate sandals for outdoor adventures. I’ve worn them crossing streams in the Grand Canyon, navigating shell-strewn beaches in the Northeast and scrambling over wet rocks on kayaking trips. Mine have lasted over 10 years and remain as strong and sturdy as the day I bought them,” says Commerce Editor Janelle Randazza.
