Chobani Vanilla Blended Greek Yogurt — OKAY

Munch or Dump rates Chobani Vanilla Blended Greek Yogurt by Chobani OKAY — score 60/90.

Underneath the sweetener it is real strained nonfat yogurt: protein-rich and culture-forward. But Chobani leans on cane sugar plus a triple stack of pectin, guar and locust bean gum to keep this vanilla tub thick and dessert-sweet. Good base, sweetened up.

Why this verdict

• Cultured nonfat milk is the #1 ingredient - genuine yogurt with real protein and live cultures
• Cane sugar is added as the #2 ingredient, pushing it past plain yogurt into sweetened-snack territory
• Three gums (pectin, guar, locust bean) are stacked for a thick, spoonable texture
• No artificial colors, sweeteners or preservatives - the additives here are functional, not a chemistry set
