Yogurt Coated Raisins

Yogurt-coated raisins are dried grapes covered in a yogurt-flavored coating. The raisins are typically plump and sweet, while the coating provides a tangy contrast. The coating is usually made from sugar, yogurt powder, and other ingredients to create a smooth, solid shell.

This ingredient is used to add a sweet and tangy flavor and a unique texture to snack foods. It is often found in trail mixes, candy, and baked goods. The coating also helps to preserve the raisin and adds visual appeal.

Yogurt-coated raisins are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. The primary health considerations relate to the sugar content of both the raisins and the coating. While yogurt contains calcium and protein, the amount in the coating is often minimal. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many individual ingredients used in the coating, but not this specific combination.
