Does the National Yogurt Association monitor yogurts with live and active cultures?
The National Yogurt Association does not monitor yogurts with live and active cultures. In order to help consumers be certain they are getting the full health attributes of yogurt, the NYA established the voluntary Live & Active Cultures Yogurt seal program for manufacturers of live and active culture yogurt products. These manufacturers must provide lab analysis certifying the levels of cultures in their products. Always look for the Live & Active Cultures seal on the yogurt cup to be sure you are getting the healthful attributes of live and active culture yogurt.
