Fage yogurt, was Re: Re: Tapioca and pectin in yogurt-is this legal?

Hi Lorilyn,

Thanks so much for your post! I'm in Orange County. I made my first

batch from Straus yogurt and after reading your email I checked and

it had bifidus bacteria. AHHH! I used the cream top milk from Trader

Joe's It was the only organic whole fat milk. I thought whole fat

would be better. Is that a mistake? I think I will try it again. I

don't recall seeing Fage yogurt there. But, I will head back a third

time and see. It's hard to read the labels with three young kids.

Authentic Greek Yogurt. " Also says " strained yogurt " and " grade A all

natural. " " Ingredients: Grade A pasteurized milk and cream, live

active yogurt cultures (l.bulgaricus, s.thermophilus.) " Made in

Greece and imported so guess it could be found

anywhere...www.fageusa.com It tastes like I think yogurt should but

I don't really know what Greek style means. This is creamy, more like

homemade than supermarket yogurts. But then, I did buy the whole fat

(the higher the fat, the lower the casein, I figured! besides, I am

trying to stop two yogurt-loving non-autistic kids from losing any

more weight on SCD.) With Fage as the starter, I have made goat

yogurt (with milk from TJ's), full-fat cow's yogurt (with Organic

milk from various markets), and French Cream (with Organic Valley

half and half, I think from Albertson's) and all turned out well but

the goat yogurt is still thin (I drain it for mock chevre.)
