Rating:     Not Clean

Ingredient Score:

Rated at 2 out of 5 green leaves, the Chobani Zero Sugar Pumpkin Spice yogurt positions itself as a less than ideal option for those seeking cleaner food products. This yogurt is not organic and includes ingredients that are not non-GMO, detracting from its overall health score. Additionally, the presence of added sugars, in the form of allulose and sweeteners like stevia further reduces its standing.

The product contains ultra-filtered nonfat milk, water, and skim milk as its base, combined with natural flavors and a mix of thickening and stabilizing agents like tapioca flour and guar gum. Vegetable juice is used to achieve the product’s color, aiming to avoid artificial dyes. Notably, the yogurt incorporates cinnamon and nutmeg, aligning with its pumpkin spice theme.

However, the use of “natural flavors” is a point of contention. The ambiguity surrounding this term often leads to questions about the source and processing of these flavors. Additionally, the product’s non-organic status and the inclusion of potentially genetically modified ingredients may cause concern for consumers prioritizing organic and non-GMO foods.

Those seeking cleaner and more wholesome alternatives would benefit from exploring other options that boast a higher green leaf rating, signifying a greater adherence to organic and non-GMO principles, as well as a reduction in added sugars and ambiguous additives. It stands as a below average choice within a market saturated with options that often prioritize taste and convenience over nutritional clarity.
