What it is

Non-fat dry yogurt is made from yogurt with most of the water and fat removed. It is produced by drying yogurt, often using spray-drying methods, to create a powdered form.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use non-fat dry yogurt to add a tangy, slightly sour flavor and creamy texture to foods. It is commonly found in snacks like popcorn, trail mixes, and baked goods, and can also be used in beverage mixes.

Health notes

Non-fat dry yogurt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It provides protein and calcium, similar to yogurt. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated yogurt and its components, but specific evaluations of non-fat dry yogurt as an isolated ingredient may vary. At typical intake levels, it is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Non-fat dry yogurt is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's nine major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
