What it is
Blueberry yogurt coating is a confectionary coating made to resemble the taste and appearance of blueberry yogurt. It typically contains sugar, vegetable oil, whey (milk protein), yogurt powder, and artificial blueberry flavoring and coloring.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use blueberry yogurt coating to add a sweet, slightly tangy flavor and a pale blue or purple color to snacks. It is commonly found on pretzels, popcorn, trail mixes, and candy.
Health notes
Blueberry yogurt coating is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The primary ingredients are sugar and fat, which contribute calories. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual components used in such coatings. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming foods with these ingredients in typical amounts.
