Milk is clean, but what about those other ingredients in yogurt or ice cream? Is there such a thing as a clean-label nut, chocolate or inclusion? We asked a few experts.

Tired after working out? Drink a little protein. Overweight? Fiber might help. Digestive issues? Try probiotics. By adding functional ingredients, formulators of dairy foods and beverages can make health-related claims.
Formulating with fruit, nuts and chocolate helps dairy processors create innovative foods based on consumer needs. Inclusions can even solve processing issues, like avoiding chalkiness in calcium-fortified yogurts.
Fruits add color, fiber, vitamins and taste to yogurt, ice cream and beverages. Grains also add fiber and play an important role in formulating inclusions. As for nuts, they are a nutritional powerhouse in their own right.
