Yoplait New Labeling

I just purchased a dozen Original Yoplait yogurts and the labels no longer contain the phrase 'gluten free'. Of course I did not notice this until I was home. I have contacted Yoplait but have not yet received a response. Does anyone know if the Original formula now contains gluten.

I don't normally get the original flavors but I know that the ones that say digestion healthy or somthing like that are gluten free, but then again I have not purchased any in a couple of months. Hopefully you will get a response from the company so you can pass the word.

I am going to have to look next time I get to the store. I always liked the Whips but I haven't bought any of them in months now. I am an on and then off yogurt eater, but since the whips had that different texture I really liked them. Good to know though, thanks for the info.

I spoke with a customer service rep at Yoplait and she stated that Yoplait is gluten free (with the exception of the granola item) although she had no information regarding why the label no longer contained the 'gluten free' statement.

I just noticed that the Gluten Free is missing from my yoplait yogurts also. I contacted the company but still waiting for a reply. Also, does anyone out there shop at Super Wal-Marts? I use to be able to buy Brown Cow yogurt but can't find it anymore.

I just bought some of the original yesterday in Key Lime, Strawberry Cheesecake, and Lemon Merengue and they all say "gluten-free" on the back.

The following Q&A is on the Canadian Yoplait web site - may not be applicable in US although I can't imagine that the process would be different. Obvious exceptions would be the granola based and cookies items.

Do Yoplait products contain gluten?

We carefully analyze all of our ingredients (presence of wheat, rye, barley, triticale, spelt, oats and malt) to ensure they do not contain gluten. Our products can therefore be safely consumed by people with celiac disease.

This is from Yoplait.....

Dear Valued Consumer:

Thank you for contacting Yoplait regarding gluten in Yoplait yogurt.

It is our goal to help our consumers determine whether or not they can include our products in their diet. To accurately accomplish this, we believe it is best to refer to the specific ingredients listed on each product package.

However, we do understand that ingredients can be confusing, so we want to assure you if the ingredient label does not list wheat, barley, rye, oats or gluten containing ingredients sourced from these grains, then the product would be gluten-free. Sources of gluten are listed on the label even if the source of gluten is part of another ingredient (such as flavoring or spice). Because ingredients may vary from one package to another due to product reformulation, you should use the product's ingredient label to provide you with current and accurate information.

Additional information regarding gluten may be obtained by contacting your health care professional or:

We hope this information is helpful.

Sincerely,

I received the exact same response today, except with the following also added in:

"All Yoplait Original, Light, and Thick & Creamy yogurts are gluten free at this time, but we encourage our consumers to continue checking the label for any sources of gluten if the product is not marked GLUTEN FREE. We are working towards expanding the gluten free message to all cups and other Yoplait products."

I wonder whether the removal of "gluten-free" has anything to do with changes (or impending changes) to regulations in Canada??? I emailed Parmalat Canada a few days ago to inquire about their yoghurt, and this is the response I got:

Thank you for taking the time to write to us regarding our Astro Original Balkan Style Yogourt products. In response to your inquiry, recent updates in regulations have changed the definition of what can be declared as a "Gluten Free" product. As a result of the changes in the regulations, we are reviewing our products. Under the revised regulations, at this time only the following list of our products can be described as gluten free.

Beatrice Skimmed Milk

Beatrice 1% Partly Skimmed Milk

Beatrice 2% Partly Skimmed Milk

Beatrice Homogenized Milk

Beatrice Pur Filtre Skimmed Milk

Beatrice Pur Filtre 1% Partly Skimmed Milk

Beatrice Pur Filtre 2% Partly Skimmed Milk

Beatrice Pur Filtre Homogenized Milk

Parmalat Skimmed Milk

Parmalat 1% Partly Skimmed Milk

I bought Yoplait 99% fat free 6oz containers yesterday and noticed the same thing. I just called and asked why there was no "gluten free" label on these containers. I was told that they have not changed the product ingredients, but they are working on getting the same labels on all containers. The rep told me that depending on what warehouse the products come from, some have already changed the printing on the containers and some are still in the process. Hopefully, this is correct information.

I too recently spoke to customer service and was given a fairly stock answer. I think they must have a wheat or gluten binder or dervied flavouring because my lips and mouth burn lately after eating Yoplait. The "reaction" is brand new with Yoplait so I have no choice but to believe that they changed their product and are not labeling it as they should.

I don't think so...yoplait is a kraft brand, and they clearly label. Maybe you are reacting to something else in the yogurt? Dairy? Fruit? Another flavoring? Or was the spoon somehow CC'd? Crumbs over the open silverware drawer?

As HAK stated before, I strongly suspect that your reaction was to something other than the Yoplait (unless it was cookies or granola).

Could you have an allergy to dairy? It does sound more like an allergic reaction.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
