A 2012 television advertisement for Yoplait prompted criticism from the National Eating Disorders Association due to its portrayal of a woman making difficult food choices.

Yoplait. Its sales have plunged 23% over the past year, according to market researcher IRI, after a 7% drop the prior year. Yoplait has fallen so much that its crown as the top U.S. yogurt brand was snatched by upstart Greek-style brand Chobani.

The Yoplait name emerged in 1965 when the French dairy farmers from those six co-ops dropped their own respective brands, and came up with a moniker derived from the contraction of two of Sodima's more recognizable member co-ops – Yola and Coplait.

Halal foods (permitted by Islam) Any food is Halal as long as it does not contain or come into contact with any of the Haram ingredients shown on the first page. For example, yogurt is Halal but not if it contains gelatin as one of the ingredients.

Its first known appearance was during the Neolithic period (around 5,000 BC) in Mesopotamia. That makes yogurt well over 7,000 years old! It's believed that, like butter, yogurt was created by accident when milk was exposed to bacteria or soured in warm temperatures.

Ice cream products may contain unacceptable ingredients, such as gelatin from non-Halal sources (for example in a marshmallow swirl). There are even alcohol-infused ice creams that contain up to 5% alcohol. In addition, some ice creams contain mono- and diglycerides, a byproduct of animal fat.

Milk, cheese, yogurt and butter can all be eaten. Fruits and vegetables are also considered halal unless they are known to be poisonous. Vegetables may be pickled in brine or vinegar, but it cannot be fermented as ft gives an alcohol content to the food and this is not permitted.

The good bacteria found in yogurt are known as live cultures. That means they are still alive when you eat them. Yogurt usually contains a few different kinds of microbes. It's made under controlled conditions to allow only the good bacteria to grow.

The bacteria is alive, but not the yogurt itself. But if it didn't have bacteria, then it wouldn't be yogurt. Yes, but it's just a component of the yogurt. Would you eat bacteria without the yogurt?
