Frequently Asked Questions
How processed is GoGurt compared to regular yogurt?
GoGurt is Level 4 with modified corn starch, artificial colors (Red 40, Blue 1), potassium sorbate, and multiple sweeteners added to a yogurt base. Plain yogurt is Level 1 with just milk and live cultures. The processing gap is enormous — GoGurt has 5-6x more ingredients.
Is there a less processed yogurt tube option?
Some brands offer yogurt tubes with simpler ingredient lists — organic yogurt, fruit puree, and pectin. These are Level 2-3 instead of Level 4. Alternatively, putting plain yogurt in a reusable squeeze pouch achieves the same kid-friendly format at Level 1.
