Yo-Chi explicitly claims its dairy frozen yogurt is made from real Australian milk and not powder. However, its final form as a frozen dessert, complete with added ingredients and sugars, raises questions about whether it can be considered the same as traditional, plain yogurt.

In 2007, Red Mango was the first frozen yogurt store to be certified by the National Yogurt Association (NYA) for its use of live and active cultures. But beyond the seal of approval, is Red Mango real yogurt or just another frozen dessert disguised as a health food? The answer lies in its unique production process and ingredients.

Over the past decade, the global market for yogurt drinks has seen a significant surge, leading many to question the authenticity of certain products. A common question that arises is: is Hollandia yoghurt real yogurt, or is it simply a flavored dairy drink?

In recent years, the market for Greek yogurt has exploded, accounting for nearly half of all yogurt sales at its peak. This trend has led many to question if Chick-fil-A's Berry Parfait, a popular menu item, contains real yogurt.

According to the National Yogurt Association, yogurt that carries their Live & Active Cultures (LAC) seal contains a minimum of 100 million cultures per gram at the time of manufacture. This provides a strong starting point for understanding what is considered real yogurt, which is defined by its fermentation process and pure, simple ingredients.

In 2016, McDonald's partnered with Chobani to introduce a new version of its Fruit 'N Yogurt Parfait in Southern California, signaling a move towards using a more recognized brand of cultured dairy. This partnership, however, doesn't tell the whole story about whether the yogurt parfait is real yogurt and what makes it a 'healthy' fast-food option.
