Yogurt?

[johnsoniu]

Does anyone have any info on which flavors of Yoplait or Dannon yogurts are gluten free? I contacted Yoplait and am waiting to hear back from them. Dannon's web site said they are "formulated" to not contain gluten, but due to the stabilizing process, they cannot guarantee that they are gluten free.

Any thoughts? I'm only a week into this and playing russian roulette isn't high on my priority list right now. Thanks

Hi Johnsoniu,

First thing I would like to stress - ALWAYS read the label - even if it's something that you've been buying right along. Sometimes they change the formulas just for the fun of it.

I eat Yoplait and have not seen a flavor that has gluten, nor have I had problems with any of the flavors I've tried.

Don't give up eventually you'll settle into a routine.

I eat yoplait all the time, but i believe they have a peach cobbler flavor and a key lime pie flavor that do contain gluten .

From what I've seen, all the yoplait fruit flavors are gluten-free (french vanilla, orange cream, strawberry, raspberry, mixed berry, strawberry, strawberry banana, blueberry, white chocolate raspberry are all flavors that I eat regularly)

ALL Yoplaits are gluten-free as long as you don't add the granola that comes separate with a few. Even the ones that would seem to be bad, like Key Lime Pie, are gluten-free. There is NO pie in them.

I'm not going to tell you to eat Dannon, but their statement is a standard CYA. Basically, alcohol is used to "extract" flavors. Even if the alcohol did have gluten (which it shouldn't because of distilling), the amount would be incredibly inconsequential and might not even transfer over. Stoneyfield used to tell us the same, but eventually said the alcohol for extraction was the only potential problem.
