They’re asking companies and the public to share info by April 15, 2025, to decide if any rule changes are needed.

FDA Seeks Data from Yogurt Makers
The FDA is asking companies and the public to submit information and data about how high-protein (e.g., Greek or Greek-style) yogurts are made and named. You must send comments or data by April 15, 2025 (Docket No. FDA-2024-N-5716); FDA specifically requests details about methods such as straining, ultrafiltration, adding cream after culturing, and protein fortification.
Possible New Yogurt Standards of Identity
FDA says it may update or create a new standard of identity for high-protein yogurt to clarify ingredients and production methods and to promote honesty and fair dealing. That review could affect how products can be named (for example, 'Greek,' 'Greek-style,' 'strained,' or 'ultrafiltered') and what ingredients or processes are allowed in products labeled as high-protein yogurt.
