Ingredient Score:
This product receives a rating of 3 out of 5 green leaves. Stonyfield Farm Organic Nonfat Yogurt, Vanilla is a certified organic option for those seeking cleaner food products. The yogurt is non-GMO, adding to its health-conscious credentials. However, its score reflects deductions for certain ingredients.
The product contains organic cane sugar, which, while organic, is still an added sugar. The presence of added sugars detracts from the product’s overall healthiness, as excess sugar consumption is a concern for many health experts. In addition to the cane sugar, the product includes organic natural vanilla flavor. While ‘natural flavors’ are common in processed foods, there is a level of ambiguity regarding their composition which warrants caution.
The inclusion of pectin, a natural thickener, does not negatively impact the score, and the presence of lactase enzyme is beneficial for those with lactose intolerance, as it aids in the digestion of milk sugars. Vitamin D3 is an added nutrient that supports bone health, a positive attribute of the yogurt.
This yogurt is positioned as a middle-ground option. It upholds organic and non-GMO standards, which are important to many consumers. Yet, the deductions for added sugars and the inclusion of natural flavor indicate there is room for improvement. This product is suitable for those who prioritize organic ingredients but are less stringent about added sugars and flavorings. It offers a balance between health consciousness and practical considerations in the current food market.
