1 times the price of old yogurt yogurt ordinary yogurt said no significant difference in nutritional value

Since the end of 2009, a dairy product called "old yoghurt" has slowly become popular in supermarkets. The reporter found that the prices of various "old yoghurts" on the market are nearly twice as expensive as regular yoghurts. Dairy experts have said that the nutritional value of “old yoghurt” is no different from ordinary yogurt.

The "health concept" is highly sought after by white-collar workers. "My colleague recommended that the yogurt has high nutritional value. After I tasted it, I also feel that it is still good. So we have been buying this one." At noon yesterday, at a supermarket near the East Third Ring Road Next to the dairy counter, Ms. Hao and her colleagues took a bowl of “old yoghurt” and went to checkout at the checkout counter. Supermarket staff next to the dairy counter told reporters that the relatively cheap and affordable family outfit, the old yoghurt purchase more young people, "are white-collar workers nearby to work, said that this helps to digest." Reporter saw, In the slogans of “old yoghurt” of various brands, some promote healthy and non-polluting dairy sources, while others indicate that yogurt is “rich in various probiotics and can enhance immunity”.

There is no difference in the price of the ingredients. The price is twice as expensive. The reporter then purchased the same brand of ordinary “yogurt” and “old yoghurt”. In the ingredients column, the two cows have the same milk, white sugar, and colony names, but in the food additive category, the “old yogurt” has more pectin, xanthan gum, and a glyceride than regular yogurt. Similarly, the content of protein, fat, and sodium in the two yogurts is exactly the same for every 100 grams of yoghurt that is labeled on the bottle, but the "energy" and "carbohydrates" of the "old yoghurt" are slightly higher. In addition, other information on the bottle, such as storage conditions and shelf life, are exactly the same.

Two bottles of yoghurt are opened, the state of the normal yoghurt is between milky and liquid state, and the "old yoghurt" is between milky and creamy. When eaten, the taste of "old yoghurt" is more delicate and there is a sense of "entrance." Corresponding to this, the reporter found through calculation that the same price of 100 grams, ordinary yogurt priced at 1.1 yuan, while the "old yoghurt" was 2.1 yuan.

Nutritional value is no different from ordinary yogurt Professor Luo Yongkang, a specialist in dairy products at the Food College of China Agricultural University, told reporters that at present, yogurt products on the market are divided into two types of coagulation and agitation, and “old” yogurt is a solidification type. The two types of yoghurt have different tastes due to different production methods, but the national standards followed are the same. In terms of nutritional value, Prof. Luo explicitly stated: “The protein and fat content of 'old yoghurt' may be slightly higher. In addition, there is no significant difference between the two yoghurts.”

“The kind of white porcelain bottle yoghurt that we commonly find on the streets of Beijing is also a solidified type. The white porcelain bottle yoghurt produced by regular manufacturers has no difference in terms of nutritional value and taste from these beautifully packaged blue and white porcelain 'old yoghurts',” said Professor Luo. .
