What it is
Yogurt peanuts are peanuts coated in a yogurt-flavored confectionery coating. The coating typically includes sugar, palm kernel oil, nonfat milk, yogurt powder, soy lecithin, and artificial flavors.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use yogurt coating to add a sweet, tangy flavor and a creamy texture to snacks like trail mixes and candies. It also provides a visually appealing white or off-white color.
Health notes
Yogurt coating is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as an ingredient. The primary ingredients are sugar and fat, which contribute calories. Regulatory bodies like JECFA have evaluated many of the individual components used in confectionery coatings. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical consumption levels.
Allergen info
Yogurt peanuts contain peanuts and milk, both of which are among the 9 FDA major allergens. They do not contain gluten.
