What it is
Yogurt raisins are raisins coated in a yogurt-flavored confectioner's coating. The coating is typically made from sugar, palm kernel oil, milk solids, yogurt powder, and artificial flavors and colors.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use yogurt coating to add a sweet, tangy flavor and a creamy texture to dried fruits like raisins. They are often found in snack mixes, trail mixes, and as standalone candy-coated snacks.
Health notes
Yogurt raisins are primarily a confectionary item, high in sugar and fat. The FDA does not specifically regulate yogurt raisins, but the ingredients used in the coating are subject to FDA oversight. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated many of the individual ingredients used in confectionary coatings for safety. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from moderate consumption of yogurt raisins as part of a balanced diet.
Allergen info
The yogurt coating contains milk, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is not a source of gluten.
