Chobani Greek Yogurt Strawberry on the Bottom
Summary
Chobani Greek Yogurt Strawberry on the Bottom scores 48/100. While it retains the same excellent 6-strain probiotic blend (S. Thermophilus, L. Bulgaricus, L. Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Casei, L. Rhamnosus) as the Whole Milk Plain, it's significantly compromised by being nonfat (stripping healthy dairy fats and reducing fat-soluble vitamin absorption), containing 9g added sugars (18% DV) from cane sugar, and including 'natural flavors' — an ambiguous lab-derived flavoring. Two gum thickeners (guar gum + locust bean gum) replace the clean triple-straining method used in the plain version. Real strawberries are a genuine positive (listed 2nd, before sugar), and the absence of modified food starch, carmine, corn starch, and preservatives keeps it well above ultra-processed yogurts like Yoplait. But the nonfat base, added sugar, and processing aids place it firmly in the middle of the pack. Owned by Chobani (independent).
