What makes our yogurt great
Nutrition & Ingredients You Can Trust
We craft every batch of Great Value Yogurt with high-quality cultured milk and real fruit ingredients. Our Original and Blended varieties use lowfat milk (1% milkfat) that balances creamy texture with smart nutrition, while our Greek and Light lines feature nonfat milk for maximum protein and minimum calories.
All Great Value yogurt products contain live and active cultures including S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus, the two cultures required to legally call a product “yogurt.” Many of our varieties also include additional probiotic strains like L. acidophilus and Bifidobacterium to support digestive health. We source our milk from US dairy farms that pledge not to use artificial growth hormones (rBST).*
Storage, Freshness & Food Safety
Great Value Yogurt requires refrigeration at 40°F or below from the moment you bring it home. Store cups and tubs on an interior refrigerator shelf rather than the door, where temperature fluctuates with opening and closing.
Our single-serve cups feature date coding on the bottom that indicates the “Best If Used By” date – typically 30-45 days from production. Unopened cups stay fresh until this date when properly refrigerated. Once you peel back the foil lid on a single-serve cup, we recommend consuming the yogurt within 5-7 days.
Serving Ideas & Recipe Inspiration
Great Value Yogurt shines as a standalone snack, but it also serves as a versatile ingredient in your kitchen. Our customers tell us they’ve discovered over 600 creative ways to enjoy our yogurt beyond the cup.
Start your morning by building a yogurt parfait: layer any Great Value yogurt variety with our Great Value Granola, fresh berries, sliced bananas, and a drizzle of honey. Our Greek yogurt varieties work beautifully as a sour cream substitute in recipes – use them to top tacos, baked potatoes, or chili with fewer calories and more protein.

Your Questions About Great Value Yogurt
Yes, all Great Value yogurt varieties contain live and active cultures. Every product includes the two cultures required for yogurt: Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus. Many of our varieties also contain additional probiotic strains like L. acidophilus and Bifidobacterium.
These beneficial bacteria remain alive in the yogurt through the “Best If Used By” date when properly refrigerated. For maximum probiotic benefit, consume yogurt before this date and store it at 40°F or below.
Great Value Greek yogurt is strained to remove excess whey, which concentrates protein to about 12 grams per serving – roughly double the protein in our Original yogurt. The straining process creates Greek yogurt’s thicker, creamier texture and tangier flavor.
Our Original lowfat yogurt has a lighter, smoother consistency and milder taste that many people prefer. It contains 1% milkfat, while our Greek line uses nonfat milk. Both varieties contain live cultures and provide excellent calcium. Choose Greek for higher protein or Original for traditional yogurt flavor and texture.
Single-serve yogurt cups stay fresh for 5-7 days after you peel back the foil lid, when stored properly in the refrigerator at 40°F or below. Family-size tubs with resealable lids remain fresh for 7-10 days after opening.
Always use a clean spoon when scooping yogurt to prevent introducing bacteria. Seal tub lids tightly after each use. Discard yogurt that develops an off odor, visible mold, or excessive watery separation. Check the “Best If Used By” date on the package bottom for guidance on unopened product freshness.
No, Great Value yogurt is made with milk from cows not treated with artificial growth hormones (rBST). We source our milk from US dairy farms that pledge not to use rBST.
According to FDA guidelines, no significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rBST-treated and non-rBST-treated cows. However, we recognize that many families prefer products from cows not treated with these hormones, so we’ve made that commitment across our yogurt line.
Absolutely! Great Value yogurt is wonderfully versatile in the kitchen. Our customers have shared over 600 creative recipe ideas beyond eating it straight from the cup.
Substitute yogurt for oil or butter in muffin and quick bread recipes to reduce fat while keeping baked goods moist. Use Greek yogurt as a healthier sour cream replacement on tacos, baked potatoes, and chili. Blend any flavor into pancake batter for extra fluffiness, or mix with herbs to create creamy salad dressings and marinades. Our plain and vanilla varieties work best in savory applications, while fruit flavors shine in smoothies and desserts.
Great Value Greek Yogurt varieties contain the most protein at approximately 12 grams per 5.3-ounce serving. The straining process used to make Greek yogurt removes liquid whey and concentrates protein to roughly double what you’ll find in regular yogurt.
Our Original and Blended lowfat yogurts contain 5-6 grams of protein per 6-ounce serving, while Light nonfat varieties provide about 5 grams per cup. If you’re looking for maximum protein to support muscle recovery, weight management, or simply to stay fuller longer, choose our Greek yogurt line in vanilla, plain, or fruit flavors.
Great Value yogurt packaging varies by product. Our single-serve cups are typically made from #5 polypropylene plastic, which many municipal recycling programs accept. Check your local recycling guidelines, as acceptance varies by location.
Rinse empty yogurt cups before placing them in your recycling bin. Remove and discard foil lids, which are generally not recyclable in curbside programs. Our family-size tubs are also #5 plastic and more widely recyclable due to their larger size.
