DALIA SABLE

AS the weather hots up, a cold snack is needed to bring down the temperature, and Igloo Zoo’s super-chilled yoghurt is just the snack.

Available in original, green tea and pomegranate flavours, the yoghurts have been certified kosher just in time for the warmer weather.

All natural and Australian-made, the yoghurts are 99.5 per cent fat free. They also contain live cultures, widely believed to reduce gastrointestinal infections, boost the body’s immune system, fight certain types of cancer and prevent osteoporosis.

Moreover, the live cultures found in the yoghurt break down the lactose found in milk, allowing many lactose-intolerant individuals, who usually experience gastrointestinal discomfort when consuming milk products, to eat yoghurt without the nasty side-effects.

All of Igloo Zoo’s super-chilled yoghurt sold in stores have been certified dairy by Kosher Australia (non Chalav Yisrael).

However, while the yoghurt itself is kosher, the toppings available at different stores, which can be added to the yoghurts, are not certified, nor are the stores formally supervised.

In addition to the yoghurts in store, Igloo Zoo will shortly release take-home packs, which have also been certified dairy.
