Non-gmo: Strained Yogurt

Strained yogurt is a type of yogurt that has been thickened by straining out most of its whey. This process results in a thicker, creamier product with a more concentrated flavor. It is made from milk, typically cow's milk, through a process of fermentation and then straining.

Manufacturers use strained yogurt as a base for dips, spreads, and sauces due to its thick texture and tangy flavor. It can also be used in desserts and as a substitute for sour cream or mayonnaise. Its versatility makes it popular in products like tzatziki, yogurt parfaits, and creamy salad dressings.

Strained yogurt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a good source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated yogurt and its components. While generally considered healthy, some individuals may experience digestive discomfort if they are lactose intolerant.
