Probiotic lactic cultures (probio = beneficial to life) such as l.acidophilus, b.bifidum and l.casei are natural inhabitants of the human intestine, where they perform numerous nutritional, prophylactic and therapeutic functions. All Easiyo yogurts contain at least one of these probiotic cultures in abundance (the Biolife range containes all three)

• The specialty range includes a 'custard' flavour yogurt and a variety of popular mediteranean style 'Greek' flavoured yogurts.

Please note: The plastic used for the Easiyo yoghurt maker and containers has a very high softening point (well above boiling point) and has been graded by every country in which it is used, as passing all the food grade requirements there are. This includes all the components, even the colour pigments used in all the various parts that make up the Easiyo yogurt maker and/or Easiyo jar.
