Raspberry Yogurt

Raspberry yogurt is a dairy product made by fermenting milk with live bacterial cultures, to which raspberries (or raspberry flavouring and colour) are added. The raspberries can be added as whole fruit, purée, or a fruit preparation. The fermentation process gives yogurt its characteristic tangy flavour and thick texture.

Manufacturers add raspberries to yogurt to provide flavour, colour, and texture. They are a popular choice for fruit yogurts and dairy desserts, offering a balance of sweetness and tartness. The fruit component can also contribute dietary fibre.

Raspberries are a fruit and not a food additive, so they do not have an E-number or require authorisation on the Register of Food Additive Authorisations. They are a source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Dietary fibre from fruits contributes to gut health. Current UK dietary guidelines recommend consuming plenty of fruits and vegetables as part of a balanced diet.
