I don't know how it is in the US, but in Germany very few labels on the tub declare if there are any live cultures in the yogurt, and no one with the amount of that bacteria (like in BG). So one needs to develop a special taste to find out, if the yogurt was made thick by the work of bacteria or just by adding milk powder, gelatin etc.
- zwieback 8y agoLabeling laws are pretty strict here so you know if thickeners are used but most brands also print "live cultures" on the cup.
