Milbona Fruit Yogurt (Pineapple, Pear, Strawberry, Raspberry) — ENGINEERED
Munch or Dump rates Milbona Fruit Yogurt (Pineapple, Pear, Strawberry, Raspberry) by Lidl ENGINEERED — score 30/90.
A 'low fat' fruit yogurt that's really a sugar delivery system: every variant stacks added sugar AND glucose-fructose syrup on top of barely any real fruit, with added colour and flavouring to fake the rest.
Why this verdict
- Two separate sweeteners in every variant — sugar plus glucose-fructose syrup — engineered sweetness
- Only 7–10% real fruit; the fruit flavour is mostly juice concentrate and added flavouring
- Glucose-fructose syrup is a cheap industrial sugar that hits blood sugar hard
- Added colour (carmines) and flavouring to fake fruit it doesn't contain
- 'Low fat' front-of-pack hides that it's roughly a quarter added sugar
Ingredients (9)
- Low fat yogurt (milk) (safe) — The actual yogurt base — protein and calcium, fine on its own.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added sugar sitting ahead of cocoa; the main flavor driver here.
- glucose-fructose syrup (concerning) — A second, refined liquid sweetener; rapidly absorbed and linked to fat storage and metabolic strain.
- Fruit (pineapple/pear/strawberry/raspberry, 7–10%) (safe) — Real fruit, but only a small fraction of the product.
- Fruit juice from concentrate (2–5%) (moderate) — Concentrated juice for cheap fruit flavour and extra free sugars, not whole fruit.
- flavouring (moderate) — Undefined flavour additive; opaque label with no detail on what's in it.
- Colour: carmines (moderate) — Added red colour in the strawberry variant to fake a fruit-rich look; can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive people.
- safflower concentrate (safe) — Plant-based colouring concentrate; benign but there to manage appearance.
- Lemon concentrate (safe) — Acidity/flavour adjuster, minor.
