What is the difference between probiotic and live yogurts?
Although they don’t always highlight the fact on the label all yogurts bought from the chiller cabinet, whether fruit or plain, are ‘live’ or ‘active’ – meaning they contain live bacteria or active cultures. Providing they are stored correctly (in the fridge) and eaten by the best before date they will contain live bacteria. Probiotic yogurts contain a special strain of probiotic ‘friendly’ bacteria that have been clinically proven to reach the bowel and help restore the balance of good and bad bacteria.
