Chobani Zero Sugar Peach Flavored
Summary
This yogurt is ultra-processed, which limits its healthiness despite having a good protein content from ultra-filtered nonfat milk. The presence of natural flavors and an additive like stevia leaf extract contributes to its processing level, which affects the overall score. While it avoids harmful seed oils and artificial sweeteners, the lack of transparency in flavoring agents and the use of additives are notable concerns.
