Vaalia Low Fat Yoghurts

I have been using Vaalia low fat natural voghurt for many many years - a creamy wonderful yoghurt to use on many products. I have noticed it has become more runny & not the thick product it used to be... WHAT is happening.. I now have gone to another greek product - its okay - BUT where has Vaalia gone?????????????????????

Unsatisfactory taste and digestion quality. I have been having g Vaalia low fat natural yoghurt for all my life. However the yoghurt is so runny lately and the taste is no longer the same. More critical, it gave me stomach problem 3 years ago on several purchases from Woolworths. So I switched brands for a few years. Just bought it again in the… Read more

weekend. It gave me and 1 year old grand child stomach problem since eating it this afternoon. So uncomfortable! It’s the same problem as before. Extremely disappointing!

Valiant Passionfruit Yoghurt - why so runny and tasteless? – We buy the little four packet tubs from Coles. It has been my favourite yoghurt for years now but then I got this pack that was all runny and tasteless. I thought it must a bad run but noticed a similar review on this site. It’s so watery and doesn’t even taste good. It has an almost powdery taste. Is this a change to save money like going from… Read more

the really good tub design to the new flimsy circular tub? We get the 900g tub of vanilla for the kids and have had a few near misses with the top just falling off as you get it from the fridge. Please go back to the originial. We just got back to Victoria from Queensland when they must have the old stock because it was glorious to have the original one with my breakfast. Valiant, if you are testing the market in Vic with a new formula, it has failed. Please go back to the original. If this is how it will be going forward, I’m not going to waste my money. The expiry date for reference is 25/1/2019.

Good – This yogurt is delicious and good for your tummy. I am not sure if I felt better for eating it, but it tasted really good. It didnt taste too sweet and the serving size is not the standard 200grams size even though you are paying like it was. The flavours are good and it would be good for customers if there were more diet ones. Be careful when you… Read more

buy these because they can be high in sugar and then what's the point of eating it. Always check the nutrition label when buying any sort of yoghurt, that's why I sometimes spend about 30minutes reading everything. This is a really yummy tasting yoghurt which says its looking out for your inside with all the live bacteria in each tub. It is not a low sugar type unless you buy those specially marked ones. My favourite is the vanilla blueberry, which is so creamy and yummy. I can sit back and enjoy a snack without feeling too guilty. A bit more low sugar would be great because that's what really matters. Theres so point in eating yoghurt to be healthy if its full of sugar.

Excellent – I purchased my first tub of Vaalia Low Fat Yoghurt this week simply to aquire 40 Franklins bonus points and was most pleasantly surprised. It is full of fresh fruit chunks. This yoghurt needs no additions such as fruit salad. Vaalia Low Fat is little filling meal in itself. The container is solid, not bendy like so many yoghurts so doesn't risk… Read more

being crushed when transported. The thick foil seal ensures freshness and the top plastic lid ensures good refridgeration storage until it is all eaten. The larger kilo tubs are an economical buy and I can highly recommend the 'Apricot, Mango, Peach' flavour. No nasty artificial flavour additions or sweeteners as so many 'low fat' products have. As someone who normally would avoid 'low fat' anything, I would highly recommend this yoghurt; it is so thick and tasty one would never know it was actually 'low fat'. Thick & luscious. Creamy. Full of fruit chunks! A nice 'tang' on the tongue. Not too sweet. Packaging label needs tweaking; a bit austere and a little reminiscent of hospital labels, or similar, so not very attractive to the eye.

Soothing to my stomach - and delicious! – I’ve just stated buying Vaalia probiotic French Vanilla yoghurt and am really impressed. I have suffered stomach issues for some years necessitating many bouts of antibiotics (suffering from SIBO) and, as a result have not been able to tolerate any form of probiotics without painful intestinal issues- until now. This yogurt not only tastes really… Read more

good, but also feels very healing to my stomach. I’ve had no stomach issues since I’ve been having it once a day. I really have noticed an improvement in my digestion too. I’m going to keep buying it for sure - honestly seems miraculous for me!

FAVOURITE BREAKFAST YOGHURT – I can only comment on the current (May 2024) Vaalia Creamy Luscious Berries. It is my favourite breakfast yoghurt by itself, before mixed cereals with milk. In every respect I like it. I have liked it for years. I find it hard to understand some of the other negative comments. Taste, consistency, style and contents I love. I recommend it.

Vaalia lemon cream yogurt – Why can't you buy the original lemon cream yogurt in Melbourne? I'm so disappointed as I absolutely loved this product and can no longer purchase it!! However after visiting friends in Hervey Bay found its still there, just not here in Melbourne!!! It needs to be readded...

Disappointed the texture has changed – Hi there, I used to buy valia all the time and I recently had a break off buying the vaalia, I used to buy the vanilla or their was a lemon flavour vaalia that I also used to buy but tonight i purchased the vaalia probiotics in the creamy luscious Berries and I noticed that the nice smooth creamy texture has changed, to a little bit rough in… Read more

texture like it's gone a little rancid but it's ok but I much prefer the smooth creamy texture it used to be...

Not So Subtle Changes – I have been buying Vaalia Yoghurt for many years, and I now find that my favoured Creamy Vanilla and Natural Probiotic varieties have a changed texture, akin to having a thickener added. The smooth taste has disappeared and it does not leave a pleasant aftertaste. It seems I will have to find a more palatable alternative - maybe this is just… Read more

another way of ‘cost cutting’ by the manufacturer - adding fillers? The fancy labelling does not always fool the savvy customer.

Leaves a Sour Taste In Your Mouth – I purchased the Luscious Berries flavour. I just wanted to throw it out. I had to add other stuff to it for me to finish it. It was horribly sour. Vaalia has gone downhill. 10+ years ago it was my favourite yoghurt. I will keep clear of the "modern" Vaalia yoghurts. It's at least consistent with the world of the last few years including the crap music that somehow is sadly popular........"sour". Show details

Used to be good but now no longer – Vaalia Pro biotic used to be properly set like yogurt just is. Now apart from the deceptive packaging which is at least half an inch taller than the content, it is sloppy only one degree away from cream. How can it be sold as Yoghurt? Show details

Vaalia a disappointment – Really disappointed with new vaalia yoghurt packaging which looks deceptively like the old tub but has less content. Also the creamy texture and flavour of the original natural Vaalia probiotic has gone and now it tastes as rough and bland as all the others. Very disappointing. Show details

I can't taste the difference – Maybe my taste buds are not up to the standard as those of others, but I still love Vaalia natural. Have been buying it for years and am not looking at stopping anytime soon. It's what I look forward to every morning for breakfast. Show details

Lemon yogurt had changed~ for the worse – I used to always buy the 4 pack of Vaalia lemon creme. It was so lemony and the texture was almost like cheesecake ~ delicious! Well, not any more. The texture is a lot thinner and the flavour is less lemony and more milky sour. It used to be one of those fairly healthy treats but I'm not buying it any more. Such a shame. Why change such a great recipe? Show details

Unhappy – I've been buying Vaalia probiotic yogurt in French Vanilla for my daughter who loves it for years. It had the perfect consistency and taste. I don't like yogurt myself but when tasting this Vaalia, I loved it!! So I made a point of buying when I can. So on purchasing the perfect Vaalia yogurt once again I found this one tasted sour and I don't do… Read more

sour. It's horrible!!! I came on here to voice my opinion about it only to discover that a lot of customers are complaining about the new horrible taste. Well, I won't be buying it anymore!! I wonder how many more customers you'll lose before you realize you should have left it alone.

Texture change & slight taste change – After speaking with to a Vaalia rep. on 1800676961 today 20/10 , have been told that the formulation has now changed. This is disappointing, as I have been buying Vaalia for a long time. The texture is now ‘sloppy’and a slight change in taste. If it ‘ain’t broke don’t fix it’. I will now have to look for a new yogurt, as now not enjoying this product. Show details

Texture change and container labelling – We’ve been using Vaalia yoghurt for so many years but we’ve noticed a lot of texture inconsistency for some time now. Latest disappointment was the packaging, the “natural” and “vanilla “ flavoured yoghurt containers looks harder to identify quickly particularly in the eyes of seniors or people with disability . Slightly bold label or colour… Read more

should help to identify the difference between the two varieties. We still love the taste so we will continue to buy It ...for now. This is a self review .

Recipe has changed and I don't like it – The new formula is runny and without texture like the cheaper yoghurts. I had to put the spoon away and take out a straw! Show details

Texture has changed & it has – I've been buying Vaalia probiotic yoghurt in French Vanilla for years. I've always been very picky when it comes to the taste of yoghurt & found that this Vaalia was the best. It had the perfect consistency, texture & taste. I'm extremely disappointed that this has now changed. When reading the ingredients I couldn't see the change but when i… Read more

compared the actual product to the old formula, there is a clear difference. The new product is a bit grainy, the old formula was completely smooth. There is also a subtle sour taste now which I can't stand. Vaalia have also sneakily reduced the size of the tub & charge more now. I'm on the hunt for a new favorite yoghurt

Quality has deteriorated – We have used Vaalia probiotic natural Yoghurt for some years now and have become more and more disappointed with mainly the consistency but also the taste. It seems to have become more salty but is now close to being drinkable. I opened a container yesterday and poured off almost a cup of water before serving it. It was still too runny. Enough. Goodbye Vaalia. Show details

Disappointing new flavour in smaller packaging – Preferred early 2020 flavour, not a fan of the new consistency or texture Fairly sure it has reduced from 1L to 900ml at the same price Show details

Great Yogurt! – To be honest, I actually enjoy Vaalia probiotic yogurt. The new flavors are sensational, especially the lemon cream and vanilla. I see from the reviews that the packaging seems difficult and often frustrating however I don't have a single problem with the package itself. Good Brand, Good Product! Show details

Happy with the yoghurt, flimsy lid – The flimsy lid doesn't seal well at all. When you handle the container the lid can pop off and spillage is often the result. It is all rather frustrating. Show details

Never buying Vaalia again – I've been a massive fan of Vaalia over the years as it's been my go-to yoghurt. As if downsizing the product wasn't bad enough, they then decided to change the container to be cylindrical in shape which makes it 100X harder to get a firm grasp of when picking the slippery container up with one hand out of the fridge. But the worst thing out of… Read more

all is how utterly disgusting the new taste of the product is. Not only is it borderline liquified, its taste is completely unstomachable. I wanted to gag when I first tasted the new recipe.

I hope the change was worth it.

Bye Felicia.

Excellent yogurt, terrible packaging – My family love Vaalia and have enjoyed it for a long time. The yogurt itself is very nice and has a good range of probiotics. However.... we were most disappointed when a while ago Vaalia reduced the weight from 1kg to 900g, and brought in a horrendous new packaging. The lids are so flimsy it's actually enraging. Several times a year the slippery… Read more

packs will slip from someone's hands and the flimsy lids give no seal, resulting in a volcanic eruption of yogurt everywhere. If you make the mistake of holding the container the top be very wary - the flimsy lids will give way in an instant and the slippery tub has no friction- in short an outright disaster and lots of wasted time cleaning and lots of wasted yogurt. I beg you please Vaalia do something about your packaging! We are at the limit and are looking at other brands now because of this

Vaalia yogurt – I am not happy with new taste either tastes slightly sour have already thrown one full container out thinking it may have just gone off a little but I've just opened new container and will be throwing it out to and changing brands. Show details

Sudden taste - less sweet – I don’t enjoy the new taste. Have no idea why you changed it. It seems to be the recent batch with an August use by date. This has been my favourite yoghurt for several years. Will now be tasting other brands. Show details

Very Good Product – I am very happy with the product. However very disappointed with the new container. The lid is very difficult to snap into place, causing the top often to come loose while putting away. This happens when the container is grabbed to put away the lid pops off. Also I have small hands and find it difficult to grab hold of to move around. Show details

This product is dreadful – I have been buying this yoghurt for a long time and enjoyed it. Then you changed to a larger size and the yoghurt is just so runny that I would NOT BUY IT AGAIN, very disappointing. Buy Dairy Farmers it is sooo much better Show details

So GROSS! What happened? – I used to love Vaalia and bought it all the time, it is now horrible. It is awful, quiet awful. I can't eat it, I buy it occasionally to see if the taste has gone back to the old version which was delicious but I am always let down. It is a vile, chalky, and acidic. I gag trying to eat it. Extremely disappointed as I loved the old one. Just to recap: This product is disgusting.
