What it is

Yogurt flavored coating sugar is a confection made primarily from sugar, vegetable oil, and flavoring agents to mimic the taste and appearance of yogurt. The "yogurt" flavor is typically achieved through the addition of non-dairy ingredients like citric acid and artificial or natural flavorings, as real yogurt can be difficult to incorporate into a stable coating.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it to add a sweet, tangy flavor and a white or pale yellow appearance to snacks. Its primary function is as a sweetener and flavor enhancer, providing a visually appealing coating for items like pretzels, popcorn, and granola bars.

Health notes

Yogurt flavored coating sugar is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is primarily composed of sugar and fat, and like other sugary foods, excessive consumption can contribute to health issues associated with high sugar intake. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated food additives used in such coatings, but specific evaluations for this compound are not widely publicized.

Allergen info

This ingredient is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
