What it is
Yogurt flavored confectionery is a type of candy designed to mimic the taste and sometimes texture of yogurt. It is typically made using sugar, corn syrup, and flavorings, with lactic acid often included to provide a tartness similar to yogurt. It does not contain actual yogurt.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use yogurt flavored confectionery to add a tangy, sweet flavor to a variety of products. It is commonly found in candies, chocolates, baked goods, and snack mixes. Its primary function is as a flavoring agent.
Health notes
Yogurt flavored confectionery is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a flavoring. The ingredients used to create the flavor are common food additives. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual components used in its production. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Yogurt flavored confectionery itself is not derived from one of the 9 FDA major allergens. However, it may be produced in facilities that handle allergens, and some products containing it might have other ingredients that are major allergens.
