1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,040 Speaker 1: When it comes to our kids' health, we're always looking 2 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,880 Speaker 1: for the best options that's not only healthy, but also 3 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: cost effective and has to taste good so the kids 4 00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: will actually eat it. So today on the Nutrition Couch 5 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:15,520 Speaker 1: Product Review, we are taking a closer look to popular 6 00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,400 Speaker 1: kids yogurt tubes and ones that you may have gotten 7 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,880 Speaker 1: a little bit sucked into from a health halo perspective. Hi, 8 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:25,279 Speaker 1: I'm Susie Burrow and Eileen Wood, and as two of 9 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: Australia's leading dieticians who specialize in evidence based nutrition, we 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: bring you the Nutrition Couch Product Review, a weekly chat 11 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:35,240 Speaker 1: on new products and old favorites that you can find 12 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 1: in the supermarket. So leanne I have wanted to do 13 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,880 Speaker 1: yogurts for a little while. We know that our listeners 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: are very very interested in yogat in general. Whenever we 15 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: include any kind of content on yogurts and then there's 16 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:50,080 Speaker 1: a whole range of kids yogurts too, we get a 17 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,479 Speaker 1: really positive response, so we know it's neary people are 18 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: interested in. And so I straight away was able to 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: tell you the products I wanted to look at because 20 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,680 Speaker 1: my little boys do like yogurt. I've got one who 21 00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,760 Speaker 1: prefers it more than the other one. But they've had 22 00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: yogurt from when they're quite small, and actually, this is 23 00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:08,200 Speaker 1: a little tip for you with me, when my babies 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: were really sort of little, so nine months twelve months, 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: when you first start to introduce foods like yogurt, I 26 00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: used the Baramba Baby yogurt because it was quite low 27 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: in protein and had literally nothing in it but milk. 28 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: I really like that brand. Now it's tricky to find, 29 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 1: and I think I ended up getting it from Harris 30 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: Farm often at the time, but I would only use 31 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 1: that or a very natural yogat. It's only been since 32 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: they're a lot older, like I'm talking four and five, 33 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 1: that I've even introduced flavored yogurt. I think it's really 34 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: important that we say that the less sweet food that 35 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,680 Speaker 1: you introduce into the diets of small children, the better. 36 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: I would say that pouch yogurt, I wouldn't be giving 37 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: it to kids younger than I reckon at least two, 38 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: maybe a bit older. And you certainly, as we'll discuss 39 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: in a second, of looking for brands that don't contain 40 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: any added sugar whatsoever. But absolutely i'd be seeking out 41 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: just plain natural yogurts and mixing them with a little 42 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: bit of fruit, so the kids get used to that 43 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 1: more tart flavor and are not constantly looking for sweet food. 44 00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: So that's a little trick. I think that when we 45 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: say kids, we're really talking more about primary school age kids. 46 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: You know, products that you might add into the lunch 47 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: box at school, and specifically in terms of the one 48 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: we're going to talk about first, which is the Valleier 49 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: Kids probiotic yogurt pouch, a very popular one, but it's 50 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: also leanne, a really big one, so it's one hundred 51 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: and forty grams, which is massive, you know, for particularly 52 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,560 Speaker 1: for a small child. So if you were giving this 53 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,800 Speaker 1: to your two year old, this is way too many 54 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: calories and specifically sugar we're going to talk about in 55 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: a second. So as I said, my recommendation is stick 56 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: to the very small portions and if you do use 57 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: pouch yogurt and no added sugar, pouch yogurt for little kids, 58 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 1: you absolutely want the smallest one's possible. But this is 59 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: marketed for kids. You can see a massive kids right 60 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: across the front at retails for about a dollar twenty 61 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: per pouch at Woollies and coal's it's fairly available. We 62 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,400 Speaker 1: check it the ingredient list. Whole milks give milk, orter sugar, 63 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: milk solid, strawberry pulp. So straight away, leanne, I'm looking 64 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 1: at that. I see sugar on the list, and I 65 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,800 Speaker 1: don't like it because we shouldn't have added sugar in yogurt, 66 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: I think in general lit alone kids yogurt, So straight 67 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: away I'm put off strawberry and at three point five percent. 68 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 1: There's also rice starch, which, let's be honest, is another 69 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: form of sugar gelatin natural flavors. Regulators live yogurt cultures, 70 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: so there is some good bugs in there that they're 71 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: adding in. But it comes in at five hundred kilogel, 72 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: so just over one hundred and thirty calories per serve, 73 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 1: six grams of protein, three grams of fat, and total 74 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: two point four saturated, So low and saturated fat, but massive. 75 00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: You know, sixteen point five grams of carb, twelve point 76 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: five grams of which are sugars. Now, admittedly you will 77 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: get some naturally occurring sugar in any dairy food, milk, yogurt, 78 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 1: but in this case it's added sugar, some of it. 79 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 1: At least it's not differentiated added from naturally occurring and 80 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: I just can't justify that, particularly if a small child 81 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: was having this. This is more than half their daily 82 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: sugar intake in a single pouch. Now I am aware 83 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: it is some of it natural, but it just is 84 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 1: an added sugar food that shouldn't be in kids' diets 85 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: and for me, the portion is just way, way too large. 86 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: The good news is, thoughlyand that there are a growing 87 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: range of smaller portions and in particular ones that clearly 88 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: say no added sugar. And this is a perfect example 89 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: why we need that labeling in Australia that differentiates added 90 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,839 Speaker 1: to naturally occurring sugars in foods like fruit and dairy, 91 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 1: so we can make that informed decision. But as a mum, 92 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: if you're going along and looking at any of these 93 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: pouches and see sugar written, it's a sign it's not 94 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: the best product for your child, and there are a 95 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 1: better nutritional options out there in the case of. 96 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 2: Yogurt, absolutely, And if you're busy in your time poor 97 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 2: just even look at the front of package marketing and 98 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,239 Speaker 2: look for the ones that say no added sugar. Because 99 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: this brand the Valley, it says proba to yogurt, it 100 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 2: says kids, it says boost immunity. So it looks like 101 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: it's got all of the right things on the front 102 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: of packet. But the big thing it doesn't have, SUSI, 103 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: is a no added sugar label. And we know that 104 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,480 Speaker 2: no added sugar doesn't mean no sugar. We know it 105 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 2: silk and tastes naturally occurring sugar. But as you said, 106 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 2: we don't want like twelve and a half grams of 107 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 2: sugar is huge for a small child. And as you said, 108 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: the more sugar they have, the more sugar they want. 109 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 2: So it is definitely not something that we want add 110 00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: kids eating. So I think this one is a big 111 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 2: health halo. I think you look at the front of 112 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 2: that package marketing and go, you know what that's actually like. 113 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 2: It looks like a really good product, and it retails 114 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: for a dollar twenty at Woolworth Susie, and as she said, 115 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: it's a big pouch. It's one hundred and forty gram 116 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: so a lot of people might think this is actually 117 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 2: really good value for money, but you're getting more because 118 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,320 Speaker 2: they have, you know, bogged out that yogurt with the 119 00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 2: added sugars and that sort of thing. So I don't 120 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 2: think that this is necessarily something that we would We're 121 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: not gonna recommend it at all, LAWI SUSI. There are 122 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 2: definitely better options on the market, But I really do 123 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: think the kids yogurt's overall are a bit of a 124 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: marketing thing anyway, Like why can't kids just eat, as 125 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 2: you said, adult yogat, Like why does it even have 126 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 2: to be a kid range of yogurts. 127 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,279 Speaker 1: I haven't bought pouches until my kids went to school 128 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 1: for that reason. You know, if they wanted yoga at home, 129 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 1: I would give them a bowl with cut out fruit 130 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: in it and use just a natural. But also from 131 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 1: a cost perspective, you know, you can get a big 132 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,840 Speaker 1: container of yogat, so a natural yogurt for I think 133 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,719 Speaker 1: about four dollars, and that's probably got at least ten 134 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: serves for a small child versus this that's retailing at 135 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: one twenty per serve, Like, you can waste a lot 136 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 1: of money as well, if budget, if you're trying to 137 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 1: focus on your budget, And for me, the portions are 138 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: way way too large for I wouldn't give that size 139 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: until a child was probably eight, probably even closer to 140 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: ten years old. So the fact that that size and 141 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,320 Speaker 1: portions being marketed directly to kids, I think is an 142 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: issue in itself, and we'd like to definitely see people 143 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 1: do better with that kind of product than where it's 144 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: sitting in the market at the moment. So we'll move 145 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 1: on to one that i think is one of the 146 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,680 Speaker 1: better ones. So I've chosen the Tama Valley Dairy Kids 147 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: Greek Yogurt pouch. I've got a strawberry one one hundred 148 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: and ten grams, so much more reasonable portion, and I 149 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 1: think Leanne for the babies, you get them at about 150 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: seventy grams, so this would be something that's more reasonable 151 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: for a primary school aged child. The seventy ones would 152 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: be I think the rapid Iss Guarden one is about 153 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,239 Speaker 1: seventy grams, which is much more appropriate for smaller kids 154 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: or kids too are yet at school, but not inexpensively. 155 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: And one dollar fifty per pouch, you know, like that 156 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: adds up if you're buying just joke it for the 157 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: course of the week, so certainly not you know, from 158 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,000 Speaker 1: a budget perspective, it's not necessarily cost effective for families. 159 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 1: We look at the labels, it's a whole milk brand 160 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: actually it's not low fat. It's whole milk, creamy milk solids, water, 161 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: strawberry pulp, four point two percent rice starch. Now I 162 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: will disclose that does also contain some sweetened aspect to it. 163 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: It doesn't have the added sugar itself, but it is 164 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: getting sweetness through the rice starch, natural flavors, lemon pulps, 165 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 1: and life culture in there. They're not marketing aggressively on 166 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: the probiotics, but it does contain culture. So that comes 167 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: in at just about one hundred calories per serve, four 168 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: grams of protein, seven point six grams of fat five 169 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: foot one saturated. So this is not a low fat 170 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: product either. So you would argue for kids under the 171 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 1: age of five, certainly wouldn't be recommending reduced or low 172 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 1: fat dairy, so that certainly is much better for a 173 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: younger child, even though the portion is sort of for 174 00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: me aimed at by a primary school age. But getting 175 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 1: some fat from dairies wouldn't be a cause for concern 176 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: for me in this context of a whole food. But 177 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: you can see the difference in sugar straight away land. 178 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: So if we go back to their large valia one 179 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:14,640 Speaker 1: per serve, this was offering sixteen point five grams of carbohydrate, 180 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: so just roughly a slice of bread worth of fuel 181 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 1: twelve point five grams of which so more than two 182 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: and a half teaspoons of sugars per cer in that 183 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: compared to this tama Vali one, which is offering only 184 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: four grams of carbohydrate and three point five grams of sugars, 185 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: so you can see the distinct difference. 186 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 2: This has got a. 187 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: Quarter of the sugars and a quarter of the fuel 188 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 1: load from that food, which is much more appropriate for 189 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: a child. Now, neither of them leanna listing calcium, which 190 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,840 Speaker 1: I think is really interesting, like you would assume they'd 191 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: be getting at least what seventy one hundred milligrams of 192 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,240 Speaker 1: calcium per serve of yogurt like this, and neither of 193 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: them are listing out. So that's disappointing too, because we 194 00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:56,320 Speaker 1: would really love to be using a yogurt as an 195 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: added calcium serve and we're not labeling for it. So 196 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 1: a shout out to both of those companies to label 197 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 1: for calcium to help us with that, because indeed, our 198 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: kids need three serves of dairy minimum to get their 199 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: calcium requirement, and I would say, both are offering a serve, 200 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: but we are guessing it'd be really nice to see 201 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: that too. 202 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they definitely have calcium added, but as you said, 203 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,800 Speaker 2: it's a bit hard when you don't sort of know 204 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:20,480 Speaker 2: how much is in there. Obviously, this one would be 205 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,560 Speaker 2: probably a lower amount of calcium than the other one 206 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: because it's a smaller portion. But I do like the 207 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 2: whole food ingredients here. But I must admit, Suzia, I 208 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 2: don't love the fact that it's got cream in it. 209 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 2: I'm all for, you know, full fat dairy for small kids. 210 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 2: I think that's absolutely okay, but I just don't really 211 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,120 Speaker 2: see the addition all the need for cream added into 212 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 2: that yoga. How do you feel about the cream in there? Well, 213 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 2: it's not ideal, is it must make it taste good. 214 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: I think that's why it tastes good, and I think 215 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 1: that's why the kids like it. To be honest, I 216 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: hadn't looked that closely at it when i'd been getting 217 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 1: it for my own kids. You know, I sort of 218 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 1: look at the sugars and the label's got no sugar added, 219 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: So that's sort of where I go. My kids do 220 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: like this yogurt, But yeah, it's not ideal, but time 221 00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: of our have often, i think added cream in their 222 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: mix to give it that rich flavor through the mouth, 223 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,520 Speaker 1: so you know, it's You're right, it's not ideal, and 224 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: that's why we're getting a fairly hefty dose of saturated 225 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,679 Speaker 1: fat as well. So they could certainly improve this formulation 226 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 1: a bit. I also wonder if it's to give the 227 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: thickness that works well in these tubes, because if you 228 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 1: were dealing with a yogurt which was low fat, it's watery, right, 229 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking that one of the reasons they may 230 00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 1: do it in this formulation is to give the thickness 231 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: that's required to make a tube type yogurt work. 232 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point, because we like the nice 233 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 2: thick yogurts because there high in protein, and they're high 234 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: in protein because they're like double triple quadruple strained. But 235 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 2: we don't want high protein for children, so they can't 236 00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: actually be quite dangerous because their kidneys can't process that 237 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 2: load of protein. So we don't want to high protein yogurts, 238 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: so we can't do that double sort of triple straining 239 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 2: for kids. So you're right, maybe it is a form 240 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: of just bulging it up a little bit, although I 241 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: imagine the rice starch adds a little bit of bulkness 242 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 2: to that as well thickness to it. Yeah, yeah, we'll 243 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 2: go to get back to our food science days. 244 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,559 Speaker 1: It's an interesting observation and it's a good thing to 245 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: chat about. Certainly, an adult yogurt I would be not 246 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 1: steering well away from cream on a label. But the 247 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 1: other thing you've actually mentioned what I wanted to talk 248 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: about as part of this segment, because I have a 249 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 1: really big issue with the number of children I'm seeing 250 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: using high protein yogurts, because there's such a growth area 251 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: of protein based yogurt for adults and it's so popular. 252 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: I've seen multiple times kids using high protein yogat tubes 253 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,920 Speaker 1: like the Yopros, the Shabani, which can have ten, fifteen, 254 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: twenty grams of protein per serve, and I want to 255 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 1: really stress that they are not appropriate for children. So 256 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 1: the recommendation for protein intake for kids is actually really 257 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: really low. It's less than a gram peculo, and so 258 00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: if your child is having twenty grams of protein in 259 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: a yogurt, in some cases, they'll be getting more than 260 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,959 Speaker 1: their entire daily intake recommended of protein. So I wanted 261 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 1: to really talk about that and to say high protein 262 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 1: for kids are not appropriate, and I wouldn't be giving 263 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: a high protein yogurt until someone was in adolescents and 264 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: gone through their major growth spurts, so someone in high school. 265 00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: They are inappropriate for primary school age children. So be 266 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 1: very careful of that, because if you're buying one type 267 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 1: of yogurt for the family or just a few tubes, 268 00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: and you're used to giving one to the kids, they're 269 00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 1: way way too high in terms of calorie intake and 270 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: protein intake. So just be really mindful of that, because 271 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: I don't think they're differentiated for adults and children well 272 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: enough in the market, and I think you could easily 273 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: be buying the protein based yogas for the family without thinking, oh, 274 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: hang on a second, my child's only eight and it's 275 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 1: way too much protein perserve. 276 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: I think it's a really good point. 277 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: We don't hear it talked about very often, and that's 278 00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: why if we look at the protein of these four 279 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: grams for this little Tama valley, one six grams, because 280 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: this is such a large server, this falire. But as 281 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: I said, as soon as you're getting ten plus grams, 282 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,439 Speaker 1: and if, as I said, as a child, their intakes 283 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: sort of I haven't got the numbers off the top 284 00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: of my head to tell you, but they're really quite low. 285 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 1: Let me actually just do a quick Google just to 286 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: give you a reference point, because, yeah, I think in 287 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: this age of high protein products, it can be easy 288 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 1: to think that more is better, and it's really important 289 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: to know that small children do not need a lot 290 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: of protein in their diet. You know, for example, breast 291 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: milk is really low in protein, and that's why we've 292 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 1: got to be really careful. So I'm having a very 293 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 1: quick look. Children age four to nine nineteen grams of 294 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: protein and daily in yeah, wow, it's not a lot 295 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,360 Speaker 1: those between nine and thirteen and thirty four. So if 296 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: you've got a nine year old and you're giving them 297 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 1: a high protein they're having more than half their daily 298 00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: intake of protein in a single snack. So we'll say 299 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 1: it very clearly. Protein yogurts are not appropriate for children, 300 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: not until you're a teenager, and an ideally a teenager 301 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: who's gone through a major gross But it would I 302 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,320 Speaker 1: ever be recommending a protein based yogurt, So make sure 303 00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,920 Speaker 1: that you are choosing natural, plain fruit yogurts with no 304 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,800 Speaker 1: added sugar, and if you are opting for these pouches, 305 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,560 Speaker 1: you certainly do want to look for ones that contain 306 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: no added sugars and ideally have a kid's formulation that 307 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,400 Speaker 1: doesn't that keeps those nutritionals as they should, which is 308 00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 1: relatively low, or as I do it my own homely 309 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 1: and just use the natural yogurt and add some fruit 310 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: and things to it. If I'm doing it as a 311 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: dessert or making of course frozen yogurt ice blocks, I 312 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: just get the natural. I think activ has got a natural. 313 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,920 Speaker 1: They're harder to find, but you can get them. ACTV 314 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: has got a natural. I think Valley has got just 315 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,240 Speaker 1: a natural. If you look that's not flavored. One was 316 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: a good one as well, yep. And then you can 317 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,840 Speaker 1: just put them into the ice cream pops with some fruit, 318 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: mix it around and the kids love that, and it's 319 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: ticking the box on key nutrients like calcium without too 320 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: much of any of those things like the added sugars, 321 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: and certainly the protein in the case of higher protein yogurts. 322 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: I really do think we should be using these pouches 323 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 2: for our kids as a convenience or a travel option, 324 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 2: not something that's an everyday option of the kids, you're 325 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: at home, they're having it on the weekend.

In buying 335 00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: something like a standard you know, just a plain yogurt 336 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 2: where you can then add natural based fruit to sweeten 337 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,520 Speaker 2: that as well, I think is a lot healthy eruption, 338 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: a lot more affordable, and but of the environment overall, 339 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: very true, very true. 340 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,160 Speaker 1: And I also actually just to wrap up, say we've 341 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: spoken about two yogats today that are in the mainstream supermarkets. 342 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: I am not aware of any great kids yogurts at Audi. 343 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: The ones that I'm aware of have quite a lot 344 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: of added sugar. The only one that I don't mind. 345 00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: In Audi is the lactose free fruit actually that you 346 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: can't find in mainstream supermarket. But if you're an Audi shopper, 347 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 1: you do need to be careful. They're tubes, unfortunately at 348 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: this stage are not great when it comes to added sugars, 349 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: so just be careful with that, all right.
