Summary

This yogurt contains beneficial ingredients like cultured pasteurized milk and live probiotic cultures, which support gut health and provide essential nutrients. However, it is classified as ultra-processed due to the inclusion of condensed skim milk and pectin, which limits its score despite the presence of only one additive. The processing level and the use of condensed milk prevent it from achieving a higher rating.
