Chobani introduced in 2019 a coconut-based non-dairy yogurt to its product line.
We sent Chobani a message through the contact form on its website asking if the natural flavors were all plant-derived. We received this email response from Colleen of the Community Loyalty Team at Chobani:
“Thanks so much for getting in touch with us and for your great question. Absolutely, our Non-Dairy Chobani products are considered to be vegan and vegetarian friendly. While we don’t use milk or other animal products in our non-dairy recipe, milk is present in the factory where Non-Dairy Chobani products are made. Being transparent with consumers about everything that goes into our products (and what doesn’t!) is important to us.”
We spoke with Mary from Chobani’s Community Loyalty Team in February 2019. She said, “All of our natural flavors in all of our flavors are fruit- and vegetable-based.”
Interested readers will find more information on Chobani’s Non-Dairy Yogurt by visiting the Chobani website.
