Chobani

The Chobani Zero Sugar* Raspberry yogurt has earned a 2/5 green leaves rating. This product is a poor choice for those seeking a yogurt with no added sugars and a focus on cleaner eating. It falls short in some areas key to health-conscious consumers.

This yogurt is not organic, and it does not use non-GMO ingredients, which are significant considerations for many looking for cleaner food options. Additionally, the presence of added sweeteners, such as allulose and stevia, may deter those aiming to avoid any form of added sugars in their diet, whether these are caloric or non-caloric. The inclusion of citric acid, while common in many foods for preservation and flavor, is also counted as an added sugar in the context of this review.

Concerns are raised with the presence of “natural flavors” and “flavor” in the ingredients list, as these terms can mask a range of unspecified additives that may not align with the goal of consuming cleaner foods. The product’s use of tapioca flour, guar gum, and citrus fiber suggests an effort to achieve the desired texture and consistency without resorting to more controversial thickeners and stabilizers.

The cultures included in the yogurt contribute to the probiotic content, which is a positive aspect for digestive health. The use of vegetable juice concentrate for color is a more natural approach compared to synthetic dyes, which is another plus for those looking to avoid artificial ingredients.

Overall, the Chobani Zero Sugar* Raspberry yogurt positions itself as a less than ideal option. The absence of organic and non-GMO credentials, along with the inclusion of certain sweeteners and additives, prevents it from achieving a higher standing among the cleanest food choices available. Those prioritizing the elimination of all added sugars and artificial ingredients might find this product does not fully meet their criteria.
