Flavoured yogurt drinks: what's actually in them?

A flavoured yogurt drink is a thin, drinkable yogurt — water and milk solids first, then fruit juice or fruit syrup, sugar or fructose, stabilisers, and live cultures. It is not the same as a spoonable yogurt (thicker, more milk, less water) and not the same as a probiotic shot (smaller, strain-led). The sugar is the story here: most flavoured yogurt drinks are 10g or more of sugar per 100ml, and the fruit is usually juice concentrate or a syrup, not whole fruit.

This page does not give a health score or a "best" pick. It shows the ingredient list as printed, with the country of manufacture as printed where a source states it.

Panelled with verbatim lists: 3 products. Seen-but-not-verified: see the list below. No prices are shown: they change weekly and would go stale.

Seen but not verified — do not panel until checked

• Marigold Yoghurt Drink — Strawberry, 0% Fat — Sold in Singapore (0% fat, live cultures, made with real fruit juice, per brand); no verbatim ingredient list was retrieved in this pass — do not copy the Mixed Berries list onto it.
• Marigold Yoghurt — Low Fat Strawberry (spoonable, 130g) — Open Food Facts list retrieved (yoghurt, strawberry blend with sucrose…), but it is a spoonable yogurt, not a yogurt drink, so it is not panelled on this page.
• CP-Meiji Low Fat Yoghurt — Mango / Strawberry (spoonable) — Open Food Facts SG lists retrieved, but these are spoonable yogurts, not drinks, so they are not panelled here.
• F&N Magnolia yogurt drinks — Sold in Singapore; no SG verbatim list retrieved in this pass.
• Yoplait yogurt drinks — Sold in Singapore import aisles; no SG verbatim list retrieved in this pass.
• Meiji Bulgaria Yogurt Drink LB81 — One Shot (120g) — Japan brand listing retrieved (dairy products, high fructose corn syrup, sugar…); SG sale not verified, so not panelled.

Nutrition — what the numbers say

All figures in the sortable table are as sold, per 100g or per 100ml, as printed by the source. Click a column header to sort low to high; click again for high to low. Cells marked "not stated" always sort last — a dash is missing data, not zero. Meiji figures are from the Japan brand site (per 100ml; salt equivalent 0.10g, so sodium 40mg). Sugars are not stated separately from carbohydrate on the brand panel, so sugars is not stated rather than copied from carbohydrate. No Nutri-Grade is quoted on this page — none was verified from a pack.

Salt and sodium: salt = sodium × 2.5. The table shows sodium as printed (in mg) with the salt equivalent in brackets. Sodium is not presented as salt, and salt is not presented as sodium.

Total vs added sugars: most Singapore packs list total sugars, not added sugars. A total-sugars figure is never labelled here as "added sugar". Where a source states an added-sugars figure separately, it is noted. The ingredient list remains the evidence for added sugar (sucrose, sugar, glucose syrup, maltitol) versus naturally occurring sugars (lactose in milk, fructose in fruit).

Open Food Facts is a community database and is flagged as secondary where used: the pack and the retailer nutrition section take precedence if they disagree. Figures marked "not stated" were not in the source retrieved; they are not estimated, borrowed from another variant, or copied across flavours.

Seen but not verified (nutrition): Marigold Yoghurt Drink — Mixed Berries — no per-100ml panel verified. Meiji LB81 Plain and Blueberry — sugars (separate from carbohydrate) and saturated fat not stated.

How to read a label — the jargon, in plain English

Yogurt drink / drinkable yogurt

A thin yogurt made to drink, with water added and live cultures; thinner and usually sweeter per 100ml than a spoonable yogurt.

Juice concentrate

Fruit juice with the water removed; it is used as a flavour and sweetener, and is not the same as whole fruit.

High fructose corn syrup

A liquid sweetener made from corn starch; an added sugar, listed separately from sugar.

Gardenia (colouring)

A yellow colouring from gardenia fruit, used in the Meiji blueberry drink; a colour, not a flavour.

LB81

Meiji's Bulgarian-origin lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus) used to ferment the drink.

• Not complete. The products in seen-but-not-verified are not yet panelled, for the verification reasons given, not hidden.
