What it is
Lowfat vanilla yogurt is a dairy product made from milk that has had most of its fat removed. It is cultured with live bacteria, typically *Lactobacillus bulgaricus* and *Streptococcus thermophilus*, which ferment lactose into lactic acid, giving yogurt its characteristic tangy flavor and thick texture. Vanilla flavor and often sweeteners are added.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add lowfat vanilla yogurt as a base for parfaits, snack cups, and breakfast items. It provides a creamy texture, a slightly sweet and tangy flavor, and protein. It is also used as a component in smoothies and dips.
Health notes
Lowfat vanilla yogurt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of protein, calcium, and probiotics, which are beneficial bacteria. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated yogurt and its components. While generally considered healthy, added sugars in flavored yogurts can be a concern if consumed in excess.
Allergen info
Yogurt is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
