What it is
Natural yogurt coating is made by combining yogurt powder with other ingredients like sugar, vegetable oil, and sometimes milk solids. The yogurt powder provides the characteristic tangy flavor and creamy texture. It is then applied as a coating to various food products.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use natural yogurt coating to add a sweet and tangy flavor, create an appealing appearance, and provide a protective layer for snacks. It is commonly found on items like dried fruits, nuts, popcorn, and granola bars.
Health notes
Natural yogurt coating is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is typically made from dairy and sugar, so its health implications are similar to those of other sweetened dairy products. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual components used in such coatings. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Natural yogurt coating is derived from milk, which is one of the nine FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten unless added ingredients like wheat flour are included.
