What it is

Strained yogurt is a type of yogurt that has been thickened by removing most of its whey. This process results in a creamier, thicker texture and a more concentrated flavor compared to regular yogurt. It is a dairy product made from milk, typically cow's milk.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use strained yogurt as a base for yogurt products, dips, and spreads due to its rich texture and tangy taste. Its thickness makes it a good ingredient for adding body and creaminess to various foods without thinning them out. It is commonly found in yogurt, parfaits, and savory dips.

Health notes

Strained yogurt is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA as a food ingredient. It is a good source of protein and calcium. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated yogurt and its components. Typical consumption of strained yogurt as part of a balanced diet is not associated with adverse health effects.

Allergen info

Strained yogurt is derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
