Sorry, no. The illegals are illegal and so will the yogurt be.

You need to make your own almond milk, sweeten it with honey, and

ferment.

I am aware that the Lyosan yogurt starter has both milk powder and

sucrose in it, and many people are likely to ask why that is legal (since

we say that the sugar is eaten up by the bacteria in the course of

fermentation) when this store bought almond milk is not.

There's a major difference between the amount of sweetener in a liter or

two liters of almond milk versus the tiny amount in a packet of yogurt

starter. It's simply not possible for the yogurt bacteria to consume that

much sugar and eliminate it.

Secondly, the " natural flavors " in the commercial almond milk

render it completely unacceptable. We have no idea what is in those

natural flavors, and no way to find out what is in them, and therefore

must invoke the cardinal rule of SCD: " When in doubt, there's no

doubt, leave it out! "
