What it is

Yogurt coating is a confection made by combining yogurt powder with sugar, vegetable oil, and sometimes milk solids. The mixture is then typically applied as a coating to other food items like fruits, nuts, or baked goods.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use yogurt coating to add a tangy flavor and a smooth texture to products. It's often used on snacks like popcorn, peanuts, and granola bars, as well as on ice cream and frozen yogurt, to provide a sweet and slightly tart contrast.

Health notes

Yogurt coating is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily composed of sugar and fat, so typical consumption aligns with general dietary advice to limit added sugars and saturated fats. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated similar ingredients. Evidence does not suggest adverse effects from typical consumption levels.

Allergen info

Yogurt coating is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
