Diet Ratings

KetoAvoid

Yogurt-covered raisins are fundamentally incompatible with keto. Raisins contain ~30g net carbs per ounce, and yogurt coating adds additional sugar. A small handful exceeds daily carb limits. This is a candy product, not a keto food.

VeganAvoid

Yogurt is a dairy product made from milk. Non-vegan regardless of the raisin base. Coating contains animal-derived ingredient.

PaleoAvoid

This product combines dairy (yogurt), refined sugar coating, and processed format. Paleo excludes dairy and refined sugars. The yogurt coating is a processed dairy product, and the sugar content is significant. Multiple paleo violations.

Combines processed yogurt coating with concentrated sugars from raisins. Added sugars and processing contradict Mediterranean principles. While raisins and yogurt individually acceptable, this product is ultra-processed candy-like snack.

CarnivoreAvoid

This product combines raisins (dried fruit, plant-derived) with yogurt coating. While yogurt is animal-derived and debated, raisins are explicitly excluded as plant-derived dried fruit. The combination is disqualified by the raisin component alone.

Whole30Avoid

Contains dairy (yogurt coating), which is explicitly excluded on Whole30. Yogurt is not allowed in any form.

Low-FODMAPAvoid

Raisins are high in fructose (excess fructose relative to glucose) and are Monash-rated as high-FODMAP. The yogurt coating does not mitigate this. Even small portions exceed the low-FODMAP threshold.

DASHAvoid

Raisins are naturally high in sugar (16g per ounce). Yogurt coating adds additional sugar and often saturated fat from hydrogenated oils. Total sugar content typically 12-15g per serving. Conflicts with DASH limits on added sugars and saturated fat.

ZoneAvoid

Raisins are high-glycemic dried fruit (concentrated sugar). Yogurt coating adds more sugar. Violates low-glycemic carb requirement. No redeeming Zone balance possible without massive portion reduction.

This product combines concentrated sugars (raisins and yogurt coating) with refined carbohydrates and typically added sugars in the coating. The inflammatory load from high sugar content outweighs any potential probiotic benefits from yogurt. This is a processed candy-like product.

Yogurt-covered raisins are primarily sugar (raisins + yogurt coating) with minimal protein and high calorie density. A small handful (1 oz) contains 100+ calories and 20g sugar with only 2-3g protein. Triggers blood sugar spikes, worsens nausea in some patients, and represents empty calories. Contradicts nutrient density and low-sugar priorities.
