Why does Horizon Organic Dairy use sugar instead of honey to sweeten yogurt?
The use of certified organically grown and processed sugar in Horizon Organic® yogurt provides a more consistent flavor quality with a slightly lower amount of total sugars in the yogurt formulas. Using organic sugar in the nonfat yogurts produces no significant nutritional differences from honey and maintains similar nutritional-value labeling for diabetics. The sugar we use comes from a cooperative of small organic family farmers in Paraguay. Certified organic sugar is not bleached or refined, and organic sugar is hand cut and crushed instead of being burned off and harvested.
