Noosa Yogurt

Rated at 2/5 green leaves, the Noosa Yogurt Peach Yoghurt Single Serve falls short in the realm of clean eating options. This product’s composition does not include organic ingredients, nor does it avoid GMOs, which detracts from its potential as a health-conscious choice. The addition of cane sugar not once but twice, first within the fruit purée and again as a separate ingredient, raises concerns regarding its sugar content. Furthermore, the inclusion of ‘natural flavor’ and ‘flavor’ in the ingredient list raises questions about the source and necessity of these additives, which are often seen as less desirable in a clean eating context.

The Noosa Yogurt Peach Yoghurt Single Serve starts with grade A pasteurized whole milk, which serves as a rich base for the yogurt. The fruit purée, made with Palisade peaches and additional peaches, provides the fruity component of the flavor. However, the use of cane sugar in the purée and as an independent ingredient contributes to the overall sugar content, which is a significant factor in the product’s low score. The presence of wildflower honey offers a natural sweetness, yet it is overshadowed by the other sweeteners.

Additional ingredients such as kosher gelatin and pectin are included for texture, while the live active cultures are essential for yogurt’s beneficial properties. However, the locust bean gum, along with the aforementioned ‘natural flavor,’ contributes to the product’s deduction in cleanliness and healthfulness.

The Noosa Yogurt Peach Yoghurt Single Serve displays a need for improvement in its ingredients to align with the expectations of consumers seeking cleaner food options. The product’s reliance on non-organic ingredients, GMOs, and added sugars, as well as questionable additives, limits its appeal to those aiming for a healthier lifestyle. With a focus on cleaner, more wholesome ingredients, this yogurt has the potential to offer a more beneficial choice for health-conscious individuals.
