Rating: Not Clean
- 2 out of 5
Ingredient Score:
Rated at 2/5 green leaves, the Noosa Yogurt Coconut Yoghurt Single Serve falls short of the ideal for those seeking cleaner food options. This product is not organic, which detracts from its potential health benefits and environmental friendliness. Furthermore, the absence of non-GMO ingredients raises concerns for consumers who prioritize natural genetic composition in their food choices.
The yogurt’s ingredient list includes multiple sources of added sugars, namely cane sugar and sweetened condensed milk, contributing to its lower score. Added sugars are often criticized for their negative impact on overall health, particularly in contributing to obesity, heart disease, and diabetes when consumed in excess. The presence of these sugars suggests the product is less healthy than alternatives with natural or no added sugars.
Additionally, the yogurt contains natural flavors and locust bean gum, which are categorized as potentially harmful additives. The term ‘natural flavors’ can encompass a wide range of substances, some of which may not align with a clean eating philosophy. Locust bean gum, while generally recognized as safe, is often used as a thickener or stabilizer, and its inclusion may not be viewed favorably by those seeking whole, minimally processed foods.
The use of kosher gelatin, derived from animal sources, may also be a point of contention for certain dietary preferences, such as vegetarian or vegan diets, though it is not explicitly marked in the scoring system.
The live active cultures present in the yogurt are a positive aspect, as they can contribute to gut health. However, the benefits of these probiotics may be overshadowed by the other less desirable ingredients for those aiming for the cleanest food choices.
The Noosa Yogurt Coconut Yoghurt Single Serve, with its current composition, does not align well with the goal of providing cleaner, healthier food options. The product has room for improvement, particularly in the areas of organic certification, non-GMO ingredient sourcing, reduction of added sugars, and elimination of potentially harmful additives.
