yoghurt
Summary
This yoghurt contains beneficial ingredients like fromage frais and carrot juice, which provide protein, calcium, and vitamins. However, the presence of fructose and natural flavoring, combined with its high processing level, limits its healthiness. The product's ultra-processed nature and added sugars contribute to a lower score despite some nutritional benefits.

Key ingredients 9
Fromage fraisGood
Fromage frais is a fresh cheese made from pasteurized skimmed milk and cream, providing a source of protein and calcium. The inclusion of lactic cultures supports gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria. It is a minimally processed dairy product with nutritional benefits.
Benefits
Rich in protein and calcium, supporting bone health and muscle maintenance. Contains probiotics that may enhance gut health.
Strawberry purée from concentrateNeutral
Strawberry purée from concentrate is used to add flavor and sweetness to the product. The concentration process may reduce some of the natural nutrients found in fresh strawberries. It provides flavor but lacks the full nutritional profile of whole strawberries.
Risks
May contain added sugars or lose some nutrients during the concentration process.
Benefits
Adds natural strawberry flavor and some vitamins, though less than fresh strawberries.
FructoseBad
Fructose is a simple sugar that can contribute to sweetness but may have negative health effects when consumed in excess. It is often associated with increased risk of metabolic disorders. Unlike glucose, fructose is metabolized in the liver, which can lead to fat accumulation.
Risks
Excessive consumption may lead to insulin resistance, obesity, and liver fat accumulation.
Benefits
Provides sweetness without a significant spike in blood glucose levels compared to glucose.
Carrot juiceGood
Carrot juice is a natural source of vitamins and antioxidants, particularly beta-carotene. It contributes to the product's nutritional profile by adding vitamins A and C. The juice is minimally processed, retaining most of its beneficial nutrients.
Benefits
Rich in beta-carotene, which supports eye health and immune function.
Corn flourNeutral
Corn flour is used as a thickening agent in many food products. It is a refined carbohydrate that provides texture but limited nutritional value. While it is gluten-free, it does not offer significant health benefits.
Risks
May contribute to calorie intake without providing substantial nutrients.
Benefits
Provides a gluten-free thickening option for texture enhancement.
Lemon juiceNeutral
Lemon juice is used for flavor enhancement and as a natural preservative. It contains vitamin C and antioxidants, though in small amounts in processed products. The acidity can help preserve the product's freshness.
Benefits
Adds a natural source of vitamin C and enhances flavor.
Natural flavouringBad
Natural flavouring is a broad term that can include a variety of substances derived from natural sources. The lack of specificity makes it difficult to assess the exact health impact. It may contain compounds that are not beneficial in large amounts.
Risks
Potential for undisclosed additives or allergens; lack of transparency in ingredient sourcing.
Benefits
Enhances flavor without artificial additives.
Milk mineral concentrateNeutral
Milk mineral concentrate is used to enhance the mineral content of the product, particularly calcium and phosphorus. It is derived from milk and can support bone health. However, it is a processed ingredient and may not be necessary if the diet is already balanced.
Benefits
Provides additional calcium and phosphorus, supporting bone health.
Vitamin DGood
Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption and bone health. It is often added to dairy products to enhance nutritional value. Adequate vitamin D levels support immune function and overall health.
Benefits
Supports bone health and immune function by enhancing calcium absorption.
