What You Should Know

You'd spot this 24 oz tub in the dairy aisle or grab it for a weekend brunch, post-workout snack, or a quick breakfast at the office. It reads indulgent and slightly artisanal — real vanilla beans and honey give a wholesome, comforting vibe — but the texture and added ingredients hint at industrial tweaking. The inclusion of milk protein concentrate and 'natural flavor' suggests processing used to boost creaminess and consistency, even though live cultures and vanilla beans are present.

Ultra-Processing Assessment

NOVA Score:3 / 4

Processed Food

Why this score?

Flavored yogurt with added sugars (cane sugar, honey) and milk protein concentrate is a processed product; presence of industrial ingredients like milk protein concentrate and 'natural flavor' increases processing but it lacks many additives typical of NOVA 4 ultraprocessed foods.
