Milky Mist Fruit Yogurt Blueberry — DUMP
Munch or Dump rates Milky Mist Fruit Yogurt Blueberry by Milky Mist DUMP — score 20/90.
A tub of sweetened milk dressed up as fruit yogurt: only 6% fruit, sugar is the #2 ingredient plus more sugar hidden in the fruit prep, and it's dyed with two artificial azo colors and finished with lab-made flavoring.
Why this verdict
- Sugar is the second ingredient, with even more added sugar inside the fruit preparation - two sources of added sugar
- Coloured with two artificial azo/synthetic dyes (INS 122 Carmoisine, INS 133 Brilliant Blue) to fake a blueberry look
- Blueberry taste is nature-identical (lab-made) flavouring, not the 6% real fruit
- Ultra-processed (NOVA 4): stabilisers, artificial colour, synthetic flavour and preservative all stacked in
Ingredients (10)
- Milk / Milk Solids (safe) — The dairy base - protein and calcium, genuinely nutritious.
- Sugar (moderate) — Added refined sugar; spikes blood sugar and turns a milky base into a dessert.
- Active Lactic Culture (L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus) (safe) — The live yogurt cultures that ferment the milk - the one real 'good' here.
- Stabilizing agent (INS 440 / pectin) (safe) — Pectin used to thicken and set texture; benign but a processing marker.
- Blueberry preparation (6% fruit, with added sugar) (moderate) — Only 6% fruit content, and it carries its own added sugar, water and more stabiliser.
- Colour INS 122 (Carmoisine) (concerning) — A synthetic red azo dye linked to hyperactivity concerns; banned or warning-labelled in several countries.
- Colour (INS 133, Brilliant Blue FCF) (concerning) — A synthetic blue dye added purely for the fake blueberry colour.
- Acidifying agent INS 330 (Citric acid) (safe) — Standard acidity regulator, harmless in these amounts.
- Preservative INS 202 (potassium sorbate) (moderate) — Synthetic preservative to stop mold and yeast; safe in these amounts but directly contradicts the 'no added preservatives' claim.
- Nature-identical Blueberry Flavour (moderate) — Synthetic flavouring engineered to taste like blueberry, standing in for actual fruit.
