Organic Plain Yogurt

Breakdown

1 ingredient to avoid

Verka Organic Plain Yogurt scores 65/100 on Tallow — our okay band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

Verka Organic Plain Yogurt lists 12 ingredients, starting with Grade a Pasteurized Organic Cultured Whole Milk, Organic Nonfat Milk, Streptococcus Thermophilus, Lactobacillus Bulgaricus and Lactobacillus Casei. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

At 65/100 Verka Organic Plain Yogurt lands mid-scale — below the typical score in yogurt, but clear of the bottom band. A higher-scoring option in yogurt is Kirkland Signature Organic Greek Yogurt Plain Nonfat at 100/100.
