Summary

Yoplait Original Strawberry scores 12/100. Marketed as 'made with real fruit' but sugar is the 2nd ingredient with 13g added sugars per 6oz container (26% DV). The cultured milk base provides some probiotic benefit, but it's low-fat (reducing fat-soluble vitamin absorption). Modified food starch and corn starch are used as thickeners instead of letting the yogurt culture naturally. Carmine (insect-derived red dye) is added for color, and 'natural flavor' adds ambiguous lab-derived flavoring. A far cry from the simple 2-ingredient yogurts (milk + cultures) that top the rankings. Owned by General Mills.
