According to the International Dairy Foods Association, a product with a Live & Active Cultures (LAC) seal must have at least 100 million live bacteria per gram at the time of manufacturing. Meiji, a major food and dairy producer, offers several yogurt lines that feature such live cultures, confirming that many of its products are, in fact, probiotic.

According to a 2025 report by Lifescape Marketing Co., nearly 60% of Tokyo households have reduced their rice consumption, with yogurt seeing a notable spike as a popular breakfast replacement. In short, not only do Japanese people eat yogurt, but its consumption is rapidly on the rise.

CP-Meiji Greek Style Yogurt contains a complete protein profile, with all nine essential amino acids, and features the unique probiotic strain *Bifidobacterium lactis HN019™*, known for its digestive health benefits. However, the overall healthiness can depend on the specific variant chosen, as fat and sugar content vary significantly.

According to a review published in the journal *Nutrients*, regular yogurt consumption is associated with a lower risk of obesity and can support weight management. But is Meiji yogurt healthy for weight loss? The answer depends heavily on the specific product, with high-protein and low-sugar options offering clear advantages for those managing their weight.
