  Wow, 8.50 a kilo! And that's reduced. Great illustration of food products inflation.

    Ingredients
    Milk, sugar, milk solids, mango (7%), cream (5%), rice starch, natural flavours, lemon juice concentrate, thickener (pectin), natural colour (carthamus extract), live cultures.

    This should be cheap.

      Why have you highlighted "live cultures"? Not sure what you want to say, do you mean that the ingredient list sound expensive?

        Yoghurt does have live cultures, most are proud enough to list what cultures are in the product. I think it should be much cheaper but because it's Tasmanian yoghurt, we'll pay more if we want to buy it.

          @Tollery: Oh I see, well Tamar has always been expensive historically, now since all yoghurts jumped up in price this one jumped proportionally. I was mostly commenting on general inflation.
          But as far as the ingredient list I think the biggest elephant in the room is sugar here. I would never get a yoghurt with sugar, but it is just me. Another thing is "milk solids" - it is a sign of a poor yoghurt to have them. The best one that I found ingredient-wise was Chobani. There, you at least understand why it is pricier than others by looking at ingredient list.

            @Musiclover: Why is it poor to have milk solids? The milk solids can be from a range of things, and can even be whey powder to increase protein, or from low fat milk to help thicken the yoghurt, give it a creamy texture while cutting down on fats.

              @LowRange: It is not necessarily unhealthy. It has to do more with taste/consistency and customer deceit. If I wanted to buy dry milk I would get whey powder or similar, not yoghurt. Dry milk is cheap.
              To get yoghurt to taste well without it is a bit of an art and when they do it is truly great. I am surprised how many entirely different products are called "yoghurt"…

            @Musiclover: Is the ingredients list supposed to be sorted by weight or something similar? If it's the case, quite a lot of sugar if the amount > mango at 7% and the unknown amount of milk solids.

            What are the recommendations for good yogurts with no sugar added?

              @DmytroP: Yes, weight or volume, this one has a whooping 16.8 grams of sugar in 100 grams of product.
              I only know one good yoghurt so far. Chobani. Would be happy to listen to more recommendations myself. Jalna used to be a lot better but quality gradually deteriorated.
