Inspired by the original Greek Yogurt, the Oikos Greek yogurt is made by eliminating the whey from the yogurt by using a separation method. This straining method gives the yogurt its characteristically thick, creamy and smooth texture, as well as its delicious taste we all know!
Oikos Greek yogurt does not contain gluten-containing cereals.
Oikos greek yogurt is made from two bacterial strains, Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, which are found in all yogurts.
All yogurts are made from milk that has been pasteurized first. Bacterial cultures and ingredients are added after pasteurization.
Oikos greek yogurt does not contain nuts and is not in contact with ingredients that contain nuts.
All yogurts naturally contain lactose. However, yogurt is tolerated better than milk by people who are lactose intolerant because the fermenting agents in yogurt digest part of the lactose. Since Oikos greek yogurt is drained, it contains even less lactose than regular yogurt. And thanks to its thick consistency, yogurt travels through the digestive tract more slowly, which may also help facilitate the digestion of the lactose it contains.
No, Oikos greek yogurt does not contain gelatin. Its rich texture is due to the fact that Greek yogurt is drained during its manufacture.
All Oikos greek yogurts sold in Canada are made entirely with Canadian milk.
Large containers (500 g, 750 g) are recyclable (plastic no. 5) in most Canadian cities. Small containers (100 g) are accepted (plastic no. 6) for recycling collection in some Canadian cities. Contact the recycling department in your city for more information.
To get the most from the yogurt in terms of quality and taste, it is best to consume it before the expiry date. However, it is not dangerous to consume the product a few days after that date if it has been well refrigerated.

Yes, all yogurts naturally contain lactose, a sugar present in milk. However, yogurt is generally tolerated better than milk by people who have lactose intolerance because the fermenting agents in yogurt digest part of the lactose. Furthermore, it is not necessary for people with lactose intolerance to eliminate milk products from their diet. Since each person can have a different tolerance to lactose, we recommend consulting a dietitian for more information.
