Is Turkey Hill Frozen Yogurt pasturized?

Kelbelle28

My husband was really sweet and bought me some frozen yogurt last night. I was going to have some today but on further inspection it said it has live active cultures and nowhere on the box does it say if its pasteurized or not. So i'm not sure if I should eat it.

I looked at there website and it really doesn't say anywhere that it is. Usually it would tell you SOMEWHERE. So, I wouldn't, just to be on the safe side.

I'm sure you could email the company to find out for certain. I can't imagine a company using milk products that aren't pasteurized though.

Most other name brands are pasteurized. So, no worries! You can have some yummy yogurt! Just read the label before you buy it

There are tons of products that don't used pasteurized milk. My husband and I are Vegan and we would always try to stick with unpasteurized because it's organic. Now, we definitely make sure it's pasteurized. Most of the time it won't hurt a person to eat or drink something that is unpasteurized. My husband and I have never had a problem before, but when there's a little baby involved you can n ever be too careful. So, I think the extra precaution is good.

Looks like it depends on the state where you live as to whether unpastuerized milk is legal to sell in stores or not: https://www.realmilk.com/happening.html

I thought vegans didn't consume any animal products, including dairy.  Isn't that the main difference between vegan and vegetarian?

In most states, the only way to get your hands on unpasteurized milk & cheese is to get it straight from the farm. It is not legal to sell otherwise. I don't want to say "never" just to be safe, but it is highly unlikely you will run into unpasteurized milk & cheese products at most grocery stores in the United States. I've never read "pasteurized" on any ice cream type product or yogurt, but there is no way a large company such as Turkey Run would used unpasteurized to make frozen yogurt. (Same with Dannon, Breyers, etc.)

Also, pasteurization is not a chemical process thus pasteurized products are still organic. It does kill the bacteria, good and bad, which is why some people choose to go unpasteurized but it is not less organic if pasteurized, it just means it's been heated.

I don't consume any animal products. I USED to. Now, it's strictly soy milk and Vegan cheese. We were vegetarian for a long time and just over the past couple of months have moved over to Veganism. I was just simply sharing with her my experience.

I must have misunderstood your post.

All milk products must be pasteurized to be sold in stores in my state. I'm like 97% sure on that.
