Is Yogurt Vegan?
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 Vegan Diet
Yogurt is a popular dairy product created by fermenting milk with a combination of beneficial bacteria, typically Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. The fermentation process thickens the milk, giving yogurt its characteristic creamy texture and tangy flavor. It can be consumed plain or flavored with fruits, sweeteners, and other ingredients. Yogurt is also known for its probiotic qualities, which are believed to aid in digestion and boost gut health.
