What it is

Yogurt flavored confectionary is a coating made to taste like yogurt but without the live cultures or tartness of real yogurt. It is typically made from sugar, vegetable oil, milk solids, and artificial or natural flavorings, often with added colors.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use it to add a sweet, creamy coating with a yogurt-like flavor to snacks. It is commonly found on dried fruits like raisins, nuts, pretzels, and popcorn, providing a sweet contrast to the base ingredient.

Health notes

Yogurt flavored confectionary is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is primarily a source of sugar and fat. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated similar food ingredients but do not set specific limits for this type of confectionary coating. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption.

Allergen info

This ingredient is often derived from milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
