Rating: We Avoid

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 1/5 green leaves, the Chobani Greek Yogurt Pomegranate has room for improvement in terms of providing a cleaner food option. The product is not organic, which detracts from its potential for a higher rating. Additionally, the yogurt includes genetically modified ingredients, further lowering its score on our scale.

The presence of added sugars, specifically cane sugar, contributes to the product’s reduced rating. Cane sugar is a less desirable sweetener choice for consumers seeking the cleanest food options. Moreover, the inclusion of natural flavors raises concerns, as this term can encompass a range of undisclosed additives, which may not align with the goal of clean eating.

The yogurt’s ingredient list also contains pomegranate seeds and juice concentrate, which are positive aspects but are overshadowed by the non-organic milk base and the various gums used as thickeners, such as guar gum and locust bean gum. While these ingredients are commonly used in food products, they do not meet the highest standards for clean eating.

The product would benefit from a transition to organic ingredients, the elimination of GMOs, and the removal of added sugars and ambiguous natural flavors. Achieving these improvements would help align the Chobani Greek Yogurt Pomegranate with the values of those seeking the healthiest and most transparent food options. The current 1/5 green leaf rating reflects the need for these significant changes to reach a higher standard of cleanliness and healthfulness in food products.
