Guest guest Posted June 28, 2002 Report Share Posted June 28, 2002 Walmart has a new low fat yogurt without gelatin. Yo Crunch. It is the first low fat yogurt I've seen in many years. Gelatin has been being used in more and more kinds of yogurt. Now you have to check each different flavor of Danon fruit-on-the-bottom yogurt for gelatin; Dannon plain remains gelatin-free. --- Be kind. Be of good cheer.

Guest guest Posted July 1, 2002 Report Share Posted July 1, 2002 That is good to know. I don't understand why they need to add gelatin to yogurt? I'm trying to eat more soy yogurts, but it's still annoying if I want regular yogurt. - Dick Ford Friday, June 28, 2002 12:30 PM non-gelatin low fat yogurt Walmart has a new low fat yogurt without gelatin.

It is the first > low fat yogurt I've seen in many years. Here in Canada, anyway, Neilson fatfree yoghurt (0.1% fat) is gelatin-free (and kosher). So are Beatrice fatfree yoghurt and Yoplait fatfree yoghurt. Some types of Astro lowfat yoghurt (1.0% fat) are also gelatin-free and kosher. The Lucerne yoghurts, however, of all types, contain gelatin 8-(. Be well, Hadass in Winnipeg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2002 Report Share Posted July 2, 2002 Yoplait in the US used to be non-gelatin, but they changed some years ago. Sometimes if the yogurt, or anything, says Kosher, it might be made with gelatin from cows rather than pigs. Kosher for passover seems to mean a gelling agent from plant sources, like seaweed carageenan. Sometimes companies use food starch rather than gelatin to make yogurt, especially low fat yogurt, creamy. Recently I discovered gelatin in Planters dry roasted peanuts, which you would think would be nothing but peanuts, salt, and oil. --- Be kind. Be of good cheer.

Trust me, I read the label. Here are the ingredients in the Yoplait Basket Fat Free Red Cherry yoghurt I had for lunch (and BTW Yoplait only recently became kosher in Canada, with the MK hekhsher): Milk ingredients, sugar, red cherries, active bacterial culture, milk serum proteins, modified corn starch, natural flavours, pectin, concentrated lemon juice, colour.

It just goes to show that we must always read labels! Come on up here and have some yoghurt ... 8-) Be well, Hadass in Winnipeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
