Benefits of Yogurt

Stonyfield Farm was founded on the belief that yogurt should not only be great-tasting, but healthy as well-for you and the planet. All of our yogurts are made with only the finest all-natural and organic ingredients and environmentally-friendly processes.

What exactly is yogurt?

Yogurt is milk that has been inoculated with two live active cultures: Lactobacillus bulgaricus (L. bulgaricus) and Streptococcus thermophilus (S. thermophilus). During incubation, these cultures break down the milk sugar (lactose) and produce lactic acid, which gives the milk the tangy taste we associate with yogurt. Yogurt is a highly nutritious food choice because it's a good source of calcium and protein, and it's rich in vitamins and minerals that are necessary for good health.

What makes Stonyfield Farm yogurt so special?

  • At Stonyfield Farm, we choose every ingredient and step in the yogurt-making process with great care-with regard for the taste and healthfulness of our products as well as the health of the planet.
  • We use wholesome, natural ingredients-never any artificial flavours, sweeteners, preservatives and fillers like gelatin.
  • We add FIVE live active cultures: Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidus, Lactobacillus casei.
  • We add inulin, a natural dietary fibre derived from chicory root.
  • All of the ingredients in our organic products are made without toxic pesticides or fertilizers.
  • Each year we give 10% of our profits to efforts that help protect and restore the Earth.

Live active cultures: the proactive approach to good health

In addition to L. bulgaricus and S. thermophilus, Stonyfield Farm adds three more live active cultures to all of our yogurts (other major brands typically add just two.) These cultures, known as probiotics, are beneficial bacteria that naturally reside in your digestive system.
