What it is
Yogurt-covered raisins are a confection made by coating dried grapes (raisins) with a yogurt-based coating. The coating is typically made from yogurt powder, sugar, and other ingredients to create a sweet, tangy shell.
Why it's used
This ingredient is primarily used as a sweet snack or as a component in trail mixes and other snack blends. The yogurt coating adds a creamy texture and a slightly tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the raisin.
Health notes
The FDA considers yogurt coating ingredients to be generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for their intended use. While yogurt itself is a source of calcium and probiotics, the health benefits of the coating depend on the specific ingredients and processing. Some studies suggest that added sugars in confections can contribute to negative health outcomes when consumed in excess. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual ingredients used in yogurt coatings.
Allergen info
The yogurt coating is typically derived from milk, making it a major allergen. It does not contain gluten unless specifically added.
