Is Yogurt Dairy Free?
CautionYogurt is traditionally made from milk. However some milk-alternative products, such as soy yogurt, will list yogurt or yogurt cultures on the ingredient label, and those are not derived from milk.
Yogurt and the Dairy Free Diet
Yogurt is a popular dairy product created through the fermentation of milk using specific bacterial cultures, primarily Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The fermentation process thickens the milk and imparts a tangy flavor. While traditional yogurt is made from cow's milk, non-dairy alternatives such as soy, almond, cashew, and coconut yogurts are available for those avoiding dairy.
