What it is
Dry nonfat yogurt is made by removing water from yogurt, leaving a concentrated powder. It is produced from skim milk through fermentation and then dehydration.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use dry nonfat yogurt to add a tangy, yogurt-like flavor and creamy texture to foods. It is commonly found in snacks like pretzels, candies, and baked goods.
Health notes
Dry nonfat yogurt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It provides protein and calcium, similar to regular yogurt. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated yogurt and its components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.
Allergen info
Dry nonfat yogurt is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
