I was excited to see Tillamook yogurts on the shelves, that is until I picked up a cup, read the label and put it back, disappointed that a company that has always been one for the NATURAL side of things to actually use GMO/GE infused products, such as MODIFIED CORN STARCH. So I was wondering how it is you claim your yogurts are ALL natural, when their is nothing at all natural about genetically “enhanced” foods? I would really like to see this changed and see Tillamook to actually be natural, like they claim. Organic would be best, since none of that crap is permitted. I am EXTREMELY picky when it come to putting things in my body. But I steer as far away from GMO/GE “foods” as possible. Let me know when or if this is something you will choose to do in the future.

Hi Renee. Thank you for your feedback and thoughts! I will make sure to pass them along. The corn starch used in Tillamook Yogurt acts as a thickening agent.
Although our products aren’t certified organic at this time, we’re committed to making the highest quality dairy products. The milk used to make Tillamook products far exceeds state and federal quality standards and comes from cows that are not treated with artificial growth hormones. We do not claim that our products are “all natural.”
Again, we really appreciate you sharing what’s important to you as we are constantly striving to improve as a company and provide our customers with the products that they desire.
Thanks!

To Renee-
Just because the label states “modified starch” it doesn’t necessarily imply that the starch was genetically modified.
Sometimes the term “modified” may indicate that the starch has been pre-treated chemically (with an acid) or physically (with heat or pressure).
Modified starches are used in many dairy products that are low-fat or fat-free and some desserts, that starch that is added to gelatinize a product to thicken it or produce a desired mouth feel.
Choose whole fat dairy if “modified starches” concern you, as nothing is usually added to this product to make them taste or feel a certain way since the fat is not taken out!

Whatever happened to the flavor of Cranberry Rasberry Yogurt? Sure do miss it!
July 29th, 2011 at 9:39 am
Hi Emmett! The Cranberry Raspberry Yogurt flavor was discontinued due to low sales. I miss it too! It was delicious. If you liked that one, you might like our Pomegranate Blackberry Yogurt:

Tillamook is a brand I trust–I always buy their cheese, given the opportunity. I’m disappointed that the Tillamook yogurts use gelatin, because I’m vegetarian and don’t eat gelatin. I’d love to buy Tillamook yogurt, but won’t as long as it uses gelatin. (It’s possible that there are some that don’t; all I know is that the ones at my local grocery store do.)

Hi, Colin. Thanks so much for your question. I wish I had a different answer for you! All of our yogurt contains gelatin right now. Gelatin helps create the consistency and texture our consumers like. We’re always working on improving our recipes, and trying our best to make them liked by everyone. I’ll pass your comment on to our Research and Development team. At least you can enjoy Tillamook Cheese, right?!

hi there at tillamook!
our family just really likes your lowfat yogurt …. there is one hangup we have with it and that is it is too sweet. i really feel that you could cut the sugar in half and it would be a better tasting and even healthier food.
i know that the American taste buds long for sweet things…..
my wife is from Finland and we have traveled there many times and their yogurts and ice creams are less sweet and in our opinion better tasting, maybe give this a thought in the future.
we have tasted the new low sugar one but it is still too sweet to the tongue.
for now we will have to keep mixing the plain yougurt with your low fat to get the desired effect, however this is not at all convenient if we are on the go or in the lunch pail.
thanks for the opportunity to comment

Hi there, Matt. Thanks for sending your thoughts on our yogurt our way. We do our best to make a yogurt that is appealing to the most people, but there are other folks who, too, think our yogurt is a bit too sweet. Although I have to say that your comment is perfect timing. Look what we just posted on our blog today!. Try to track down some Light Yogurt and let me know what you think!

Well I’m glad to hear you choose cows not treated with rBST hormones. It’s really too bad you prefer to use GMO/GE ingredients that are just as disgusting. I was really excited too see that there were no growth hormones given to cows, then I considered reading the ingredients. I would be happier if you choose to feed your loyal customers non-GMO products. Organic is best, the way mother nature intended. I love your products, however I am no longer going to buy them until they contain only non-GMO ingredients.

Are your farmers feeding their cows genetically modified corn? If so, they’re not getting the nutrients they need, and therefore you are using an inferior product to begin with. Your cows will be happier and less likely to get sick (as will your customers) if you feed them properly!

Thanks Gwenn for your comment! Hearing from fans is important to us here at Tillamook and we take each comment to heart.
Our farmers know that happy, healthy cows make the best quality milk and part of that is a healthy diet. The farmer-owners and all the dairymen who supply milk for Tillamook dairy products use a variety of forages and grains for feed. While the mixture varies dairy to dairy, it’s likely to include a mix of grass, alfalfa, some corn silage, and grains such as barley or soy. All of this is balanced by a nutritionist who also adds a vitamin/mineral supplement to ensure the healthiest cows possible, and thus the highest quality milk. The feed used by our farmers and suppliers is both home grown on our farmer’s fields and purchased. With the prevalence of GMO feed, it’s difficult to avoid; 95% of all soybean and 80% of all corn production in the U.S. is of the GMO variety making non-GMO feed hard to obtain and limited to the organic marketplace. For more information that may be helpful, please visit our FAQ.
Please know I will send your comments and concerns over to the rest of the Tillamook Team. Thanks for taking the time to contact us.

As was referenced here by another commenter, I’m so sorry to have to remove Tillamook products from my diet. For decades, I have been an exceedingly loyal customer, exclusively buying my butter, yogurt, and cheese from your company (and BOY, do we eat a TON of the special reserve extra sharp white!). However, having recently decided to make a commitment again all GMO food for our family, I will no longer be able to support this wonderful local company. Until you remove the GMO corn and soy derivatives from your products and van your farmers from feeding GMO corn and soy to the very cows from which you obtain your milk, your products will not be safe for anyone to consume. Monsanto has long been a thorn in your side, but you have your customers behind you. Please do what is right for yourselves and your customers. I don’t think you can even imagine the impact you’ll have by making the right choice. (Plus, I’d really like to eat your cheese again!)

I am wondering if the feed that the Tillamook cows eat is GMO or not. I know that there is no rbst – but I’m wondering about the feed.
October 1st, 2012 at 9:04 pm
No need to answer my last question. I just read up and found the answer. I’m so disappointed not to be able to buy Tillmook products anymore now that I know the Tillamook cows are being fed GMO feed. If you ever start selling organic and/or GMO free products, I’ll start buying them again.

I am saddened to learn about the MODIFIED FOOD STARCH (which, Food Starch is usually more than likely genetically modified corn) and the use of GMO-feed. I will no longer be supporting Tillamook, unless the cows are 100% grass fed and GMO’s are NOT added to any of the finished products — including yogurts.
