FAQs

We list all allergens in bold in our ingredients list on our packs.

Dairy

• All of our dairy products are made from pasteurised cow’s milk.

• Our Gourmet live yoghurt, Straight Up unsweetened yoghurt, Kefir cultured yoghurt tubs, and kids Suckies are all gluten free.

• Some flavours do contain pasteurised whole free range egg but we will say if it does.

• Our Gourmet live yoghurts, Straight Up unsweetened yoghurt, Kefir cultured yoghurt tubs, and kids Suckies pouches are produced in nut free dairies.

• Our Mixers are made in a factory that also handles nuts.

Dairy-free

• Our dairy-free yogs are made in a segregated facility so are vegan certified.

• Our Dairy-free products contain gluten from oats.

Yes! All of our dairy-free yoghurts (both dairy free blended tubs and suckies) are certified by The Vegan Society meaning they reach specified standards. 

We no longer have a shop of our own, but you can get your hands on our lip-smackin’ range via a range of stockists including Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, Ocado, Co-op, Booths and more. Take a peek at the full list here (add links to retailers and to stockist page).

Yes. We’re all about quality here at The Collective and our choice of ingredients really matters to us. Our yoghurts are all:

• Free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives – no nasties!

• Suitable for vegetarians (and dairy-free range suitable for vegans)

• Free from GMOs and palm oil

All of our yoghurts are made with pasteurised milk which means they’re safe to eat during pregnancy. If we use egg in any of our recipes, rest assured, it is ‘free range whole egg’ and pasteurised too. We would advise talking to your doctor if you are concerned or unsure.

Dairy

Our Gourmet, Suckies and Greek Style pouches are made in Somerset using milk from the West Country at farms approved by the ‘Red Tractor Farm Assurance Dairy Scheme’.

Our Kefir yoghurts are made by a family-owned dairy in a small village in North Wales surrounded by the beautiful Clwydian Hills. High quality milk is sourced within 20 miles of the dairy from family run farms. As always, we have chosen milk from farms which have Red Tractor certification.

Dairy-free

You will be happy to hear that our dairy-free range is made in its own dedicated dairy-free factory in Chester with strict processes in place that also meet Vegan Society certification standards.

Our gourmet yoghurts are sweetened with honey so therefore would not recommend giving them to children under one year of age. Some of our flavours also contain seeds so please be mindful of that when considering giving them to younger children. Our kefir is made from pasteurised milk and from an ingredients point of view there are no nasties, but the vanilla flavour does contain honey and therefore isn't suitable for children under 12 months.

For our younger yog lovers, our kids Suckies and no added sugar Suckies pouches are sweetened only with sugars from fruit. No honey, no seeds and no pips but please be careful with our Suckies cap, as this is made from small parts and little people could choke. Please remove the cap completely and do not leave children under 36 months unsupervised with our Suckies.

We don’t think they’ll linger long in your fridge but here’s some handy info to know in case you want to savour the moment.

All of our yogs should be kept chilled and consumed by their use by date which can be found on the seal or lid of our pots and on the back of our pouches. We wouldn’t recommend freezing any of our range.

Big pots of gourmet yoghurt, dairy-free, straight up and Kefir should be eaten within 3 days of opening, but don’t forget to reseal the lid!

Snackable 150g gourmet and dairy free pots should be consumed on opening (go on, treat yourself!)

Kids Suckies and Brekkie pouches and our new Greek Style pouch should be eaten within one day of opening.

All of our yoghurts contain live cultures. We add them after pasteurisation to ensure optimal creaminess and tastiness. As for any health benefits, scientific research is ongoing, but you can always see if it works for you.

Our Dairy-free yogs also contain live cultures. We use dairy free cultures made up of the following strains: L. bulgaricus, S. thermophilus. These strains are cultures normally found in yoghurt, but these ones prefer and are suitable for non-dairy products.
