There's Corn Syrup In My Yogurt!

The last time I bought groceries, I picked up a few single serving yogurt cups. I opened one yesterday and started eating it. I thought it tasted pretty weird. So I looked at the ingredients to see what was in it. Milk was listed first, (pasteurized and homogenized of course) followed by HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP! Then, a few ingredients later, CORN SYRUP. That would lead someone to believe that it was added for sweetness. But sugar was ALSO LISTED. So, I've gotta ask; What in the world is corn syrup doing in yogurt?!?

Yogurt is supposed to be:

  • Whole, raw milk  
  • Yogurt culture (lactic bacteria) 
And that's the basics. Then you could add pure vanilla, or lemon, and for sweetener, honey.
  No need for corn syrup, sugar, yellow5 or anything of that nature. Eew. I can't wait for my goat to have kids this Spring so I can have fresh milk!
