Wegmans Blended Lowfat Strawberry Yogurt — OKAY
Munch or Dump rates Wegmans Blended Lowfat Strawberry Yogurt by Wegmans OKAY — score 70/90.
This is real cultured lowfat milk and real strawberries, which is a genuinely decent base with live cultures. But sugar sits near the top of the list and modified corn starch and gelatin are doing the thickening a fruit-on-the-bottom cup used to get from fruit alone. It is fine in moderation, not a health food.
Why this verdict
- Real base: cultured pasteurized lowfat milk and actual strawberries lead the list, with live cultures and added vitamin D.
- Added sugar is a top-three ingredient, landing the cup around 10-11g sugar per 100g.
- Modified corn starch, gelatin and citric acid are texture and shelf-life engineering, not fruit thickening.
- No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives, so the 'Food You Feel Good About' banner mostly holds here.
- Net effect: a genuinely mixed product, decent dairy dragged toward dessert by the sugar load.
