Frequently asked questions

Is the Dairy or Dairy-free milk come in can?

Yokos’s pure dairy milk comes from cows, the coconut milk is imported from sustainable sources and the nut milks are made by a local, ethical producer who ensures that each milk contains 25% nuts (as opposed to commercial nut milks that only contain 2-4% nuts). We love supporting passionate entrepreneurs like ourselves and are thrilled that our nuts are all proudly South African.

Is Yokos a healthy product?

Definitely so! All Yokos products are made from the finest natural ingredients. Yokos does not add any preservatives, additives, colourants, gelatin, alcohol or GMOs, and its yoghurts – both dairy and non-dairy – are gluten-free and sugar-free. Yokos yoghurts are rich in minerals, vitamins and antioxidants. They contain good fats and probiotics and are beneficial for a well-balanced gut.

Do you use cream in your products?
