Yoplait cuts 25 percent of sugar out of yogurt without artificial sweeteners or flavors
In one of General Mills’ latest efforts, the company announced Yoplait’s Original line of yogurts will now be made with 25 percent less sugar. The company first removed high fructose corn syrup and discontinued use of dairy with rBGH/rBST growth hormone in 2009.
To reduce the sugar, company employees added more milk and changed the natural flavorings. General Mills says this resulted in a yogurt that is slightly less sweet, but the company is confident consumers will enjoy the product.
"Our consumers are our top priority, and when they voiced concerns over the amount of sugar in our products we were determined to find a solution," said Susan Pitt, marketing manager for Yoplait. "We understand that making good nutritional choices isn't always easy. With less sugar, fewer calories and more protein per cup, we have no doubt that our renovated line of Yoplait Original yogurts will make it easier than ever for our consumers to feel good about their daily yogurt choice."
