News: Yoplait - New Simplait Yogurt

For customers demanding an ingredient list that is quick to read and contains ingredients they can actually identify, Yoplait is out with new Simplait yogurt, a portmanteau of "Yoplait" and "simple."

Simplait yogurt is all-natural and made with only six ingredients: cultured pasteurized grade A milk, fruit, sugar, corn starch, natural flavor, and a vegetable or fruit juice or extract or pectin. It's available in four flavors: Strawberry, Vanilla, Peach, and Blackberry and at a suggested retail of 90 cents per 6-ounce cup.

For comparison, I've include the list of ingredients and nutritional information for Original Yoplait Strawberry yogurt and Simplait Strawberry yogurt below.
