Activia Yogurt Ingredients — What the Label Is Not Telling You

Marketed for digestive health, Activia contains added sugars and additives that may undermine its own probiotic claims.

The probiotic promise

Activia's entire brand identity is built around gut health. The packaging emphasizes probiotics and digestive wellness. What the marketing does not emphasize is what else you are eating alongside those probiotics.

The ingredients that contradict the marketing

Flavored Activia yogurts contain 10 to 15 grams of added sugar per serving. Sugar feeds harmful gut bacteria, potentially counteracting the very probiotic benefits the product is supposed to provide.

Many varieties include modified corn starch, carrageenan, pectin, and natural flavors. Some use carmine as a coloring — a dye extracted from crushed insects.
