Over a span of five years, products by Stonyfield Farm have evolved to include prebiotic inulin in the company's entire line of yogurt and cultured soy products. “Our objective is to continue to provide as many healthy components as possible, through yogurt and cultured products, without sacrificing their quality,” says Kasi Reddy, vice president of R&D and quality assurance at Stonyfield Farm.
Stonyfield's yogurts contain six live and active yogurt and probiotic cultures, which include Bifidobacteria. Inulin selectively stimulates the growth of this beneficial microflora, creating the ideal symbiotic yogurt products. “We are big advocates of symbiotic products,” says Reddy. “Inulin has a perfect synergy with the probiotic bacteria we use.”
