All yogurt served in the CACFP must contain no more than 12 grams of added sugars per 6 ounces (2 grams of added sugars per ounce).
There are many types of yogurt that meet this added sugars limit. It is easy to find them by using the Nutrition Facts label and following the steps below:
- Use the Nutrition Facts label to find the Serving size, in ounces (oz) or grams (g), of the yogurt.
- Find the Added Sugars line. Look at the number of grams (g) next to Added Sugars.
- Use the serving size identified in Step 1 to find the serving size of the yogurt in the table below.
- In the table, look at the number to the right of the serving size amount, under the “Added Sugars” column. If the yogurt has that amount of added sugars, or less, the yogurt meets the added sugars limit.
Tip: If the serving size says “one container,” check the front of the package to see how many ounces or grams are in the container.
| Serving Size* Ounces (oz) | Serving Size Grams (g) (Use when the serving size is not listed in ounces) | Added Sugars Grams (g) |
|---|---|---|
| If the serving size is: | If the serving size is: | Added sugars must not be more than: |
| 2.25 oz | 64 g | 4 g |
| 3.5 oz | 99 g | 7 g |
| 4 oz | 113 g | 8 g |
| 5.3 oz | 150 g | 10 g |
| 6 oz | 170 g | 12 g |
| 8 oz | 227 g | 16 g |
*Serving sizes here refer to those commonly found for store-bought yogurt. Homemade yogurt is not creditable in the CACFP.
