GiangTran:

== Briefly introduce your food products ==
iögo, produced by Ultima Foods Inc. (a Canadian dairy company owned by Lactalis), is one of Canada's leading national yogurt brands. It offers a wide range of multipack yogurt cups aimed at different consumers, including a "fat free" line alongside its original recipe. In this project, we compare two of these multipack offerings:

'''1. iögo Strawberry, Raspberry, Blueberry & Vanilla Yogurt:''' the original recipe, made with skim milk and cream

'''2. iögo Strawberry, Raspberry, Blueberry & Cherry Fat Free Yogurt:''' the fat free alternative, made with skim milk only

Both products share a similar fruit-on-the-bottom format and overlapping flavours (strawberry, raspberry, blueberry), but the fat free version replaces one flavour (vanilla → cherry) and reformulates the recipe to remove fat while adjusting sugar content and texture.

'''Similarities:''' Both products share a similar yogurt base consisting of skim milk, cane sugar, modified corn starch, whey protein concentrate, water, natural flavour, active bacterial culture, and concentrated lemon juice. Most flavours also contain pectin as a thickener or stabilizer. The corresponding fruit flavours use some similar ingredients; for example, both blueberry varieties contain blueberries and concentrated grape juice for colour.

'''Differences:'''
{| class="wikitable"
|'''Feature'''
|'''Original Recipe: Vanilla Variety'''
|'''Fat-Free Alternative: Cherry Variety'''
|-
|'''Fat source'''
|Contains cream in addition to skim milk, providing 1.5 g of fat per 100 g
|Made with skim milk only and contains 0 g of fat per 100 g
|-
|'''Vitamin fortification'''
|Contains vitamin D3 and is made with vitamin-D-fortified skim milk
|Vitamin D3 is not listed
|-
|'''Enzyme use'''
|Does not contain lactase
|Contains lactase in all four flavours
|-
|'''Acidity regulator or stabilizing salt'''
|Sodium citrate is not listed
|Sodium citrate is used in the raspberry flavour
|-
|'''Colouring ingredients'''
|Strawberry and raspberry contain anthocyanins; strawberry also contains paprika
|Black carrot juice is used in the strawberry, raspberry, and cherry flavours
|-
|'''Fourth flavour'''
|Vanilla; contains no fruit and includes locust bean gum as a thickener or stabilizer
|Cherry; contains cherries, concentrated grape juice, and black carrot juice for colour
|-
|'''Nutrition per 100 g'''
|80 calories, 11 g of sugar, and 3 g of protein
|60 calories, 6 g of sugar, and 4 g of protein
|}
Overall, the fat-free product is a distinct formulation rather than the original recipe with the cream removed. It contains less sugar and fewer calories, slightly more protein, and lactase in each flavour. The products also differ in vitamin D fortification, flavour selection, colouring agents, and the use of flavour-specific stabilizers. In the fat-free formulation, ingredients such as modified corn starch, whey protein concentrate, pectin, locust bean gum, and sodium citrate contribute to texture and consistency in the absence of cream. The original formulation contains cream, resulting in a higher fat content and a richer, creamier texture.

== Labels (1 points) ==

=== Provide detailed description of the information found on the labels ===
Both products are iÖGO-brand strawberry yogurt, sold in multipacks of 16 x 100 g in Canada, with labels presented bilingually in English and French as required by Canadian regulation.

'''iÖGO Creamy Strawberry (1% M.F.)'''

The front panel displays the brand name "iÖGO," the product descriptor "Creamy · Crémeux," the fat content declaration "1% M.F./M.G.," the net quantity "16 x 100 g," and the common name "Yogurt · Yogourt." It also carries a Dairy Farmers of Canada "Quality Milk" logo and several front-of-pack marketing claims: "Made with real fruit," "No artificial colours or flavours," "No gelatin," and "Gluten-free."

The Nutrition Facts table, based on a 100 g serving, lists 80 calories, 1.5 g fat (2% DV) including 1 g saturated fat (5% DV) and 0 g trans fat, 13 g carbohydrate including 0 g fibre and 11 g sugars (11% DV), 3 g protein, 5 mg cholesterol, 50 mg sodium (2% DV), 150 mg potassium (3% DV), 125 mg calcium (10% DV), 0.1 mg iron (1% DV), and 0.8 µg vitamin D (4% DV).

The ingredient list reads: Skim milk, Cane sugar, Strawberries, Cream, Modified corn starch, Whey protein concentrate, Water, Active bacterial culture, Concentrated lemon juice, Pectin, Natural flavour, Anthocyanins, Paprika, Vitamin D3. This is immediately followed by the allergen declaration "Contains: Milk" and the additional statement "Made with vitamin D fortified skim milk."

'''iÖGO Strawberry (0%)'''

The front panel displays the same brand and format conventions: "iÖGO," fat content declared as "0% M.F./M.G.," net quantity "16 x 100 g," common name "Yogurt · Yogourt," and the same Dairy Farmers of Canada logo.

The Nutrition Facts table, based on a 100 g serving, lists 60 calories, 0 g fat (0% DV) including 0 g saturated and 0 g trans fat, 11 g carbohydrate including 0 g fibre and 6 g sugars (6% DV), 4 g protein, 5 mg cholesterol, 45 mg sodium (2% DV), 175 mg potassium (5% DV), 125 mg calcium (10% DV), and 0.1 mg iron (1% DV).

The ingredient list reads: Skim milk, Cane sugar, Strawberries, Modified corn starch, Whey protein concentrate, Water, Natural flavour, Pectin, Lactase, Locust bean gum, Black carrot juice (for colour), Active bacterial culture, Paprika, Concentrated lemon juice. This is followed by the allergen declaration "Contains: Milk."

'''Summary'''

Both labels present the common name, net quantity, nutrient content claim, Nutrition Facts table, ingredient list, and allergen statement in both official languages, consistent with standard Canadian prepackaged food labelling. The manufacturer's address, durable life ("best before") date, and UPC were not captured in the available label photos and would need to be confirmed from an additional panel of the packaging.

=== '''Compliance with Regulatory Requirements (Lesson 04):''' ===
Based on the information visible across the packaging images, both products appear to comply with the core mandatory labelling requirements under Canadian food regulations:
#''Bilingual requirement:'' Both English and French are used throughout the ingredient list and Nutrition Facts table, satisfying the requirement that mandatory label information appear in both official languages.
#''Nutrition Facts table format:'' Both tables follow the standard vertical format required in Canada, listing the core nutrients (fat, carbohydrate, protein, cholesterol, sodium, potassium, calcium, iron) with % Daily Value shown where applicable, and include the standard "5% or less is a little, 15% or more is a lot" footnote required on Canadian labels.
#''Ingredient list order:'' Ingredients for each flavour are listed, consistent with the requirement that they be declared in descending order of proportion by weight.
#''Allergen declaration:'' Both products clearly state "Contains: Milk" in a "Contains" statement, satisfying the enhanced allergen labelling requirement for priority allergens. Nutrient content claim compliance: The "Fat Free" claim on the second product is consistent with Canadian regulations, which require a food to contain less than 0.5 g of fat per reference amount and per serving of stated size to be labelled "fat free" — the Nutrition Facts table confirms 0 g fat per 100 g, supporting this claim.
