Not all frozen yogurt is created equal…
Frozen yogurt is a “non-standardized” frozen dessert. That means that there are no federal guidelines for what has to be included to consider a product frozen yogurt. Some products contain live and active cultures and some do not.
The National Yogurt Association has created the Live and Active Culture Seal (LAC) to help consumers identify the most beneficial yogurts to eat. The Live and Active Culture Seal is a voluntary program that is awarded to manufacturers whose products are independently tested and contain high levels of probiotic cultures.
Look for the LAC seal to know that the frozen yogurt that you are eating has these beneficial high levels of live and active cultures. Visit http://www.aboutyogurt.com for more information.
YoCream Frozen Yogurt cultures include: S. thermophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. lactis and L. acidophilus. The sweet profile YoCream yogurts contain 100-200 million cultures per gram of beneficial live and active cultures and the tart profile YoCream yogurts contain 300-400 million cultures per gram of beneficial live and active cultures, which exceeds the amount required (10 million cultures per gram) to obtain the live and active culture seal from the National Yogurt Association.
