Ain't skeered. I eat Oikos Triple Zero every single day, sometimes two or three of them. I haven't grown a third eye or developed diabeetus of the kanser yet.18 -

Yes. Get a real strained yogurt that doesn't have all that crap in it. Seriously, yogurt doesn't need all that in it to be yummy and have a nice texture.0 -

But that's a flavored yogurt. If you don't want all the stuff then get the plain and flavor it yourself. Of course flavors are going to add extra ingredients.8 -

Which ingredient, specifically, are you concerned about and why?8 -
You could also make your own yogurt. It's fairly easy and you control what's in it.1

What's wrong with that list of ingredients?3 -
I buy plain Greek yogurt which i don't particularly like the taste of (too tart), and flavour it myself. I use 0 calorie flavdrops from MyProtein, they have many different flavours to choose from.0

Clean eating means nothing, and do you really eat a cup (250 ml) of yogurt in one sitting?4 -

This. The same is true with the full fat, btw. If you are looking at flavored yogurts, of course they have the various ingredients used for the flavoring in it. There are tons of 0% and 2% plain yogurts, though.
It's all still processed, of course, but again, not that there's anything wrong with that.2 -
Plain yoghurt at its best has only milk and cultures in it. Even low fat Greek can be made without thickeners by manipulating the temperatures and cultures used, but it is trickier than full fat.
The problem comes with low fat flavoured yoghurt, where manufacturers feel the need to make up for lack of flavour by adding sugar etc.
Personally I prefer full fat Greek yoghurt with a bit of jam or honey - but that's just because that's what I like best. I don't think flavoured yoghurts are particularly unhealthy as such, but watch the calories.

I was reading containers at Walmart and got frustrated and gave up. I don't recall the brands but this post makes me more comfortable that I can find something without additives and extras. Thanks again for the links.
In the end, it's going to be determined by how you are defining clean. This really shouldn't be something that stresses you out or makes you freak out. Just concentrate on getting an overall solid diet. You might enjoy the below thread. The video is from Dr. Layne Norton who has his degree in Nutritional Science. He is a researcher, powerlift, bodybuilder and coach. Very knowledgeable in regards to nutrition.
Personally, I like Chobani, Dannon Greek 100, Siggi, Nosa and Dannon Light N Fit. I get whatever is really on sale.

I use Norman's fat-free Greek yogurt with 2x protein in a single-serve container. I put it over 1 cup of red seedless grapes and crumble a granola bar on top. (If granola bars are out for you, try sprinkling some toasted nuts instead.)0

Nope. 5 ounces I imagine.0 -
Honestly, the whole "of you can't pronounce it, it must be bad" thing doesn't necessarily hold up. It can be frustrating to determine what's ok and what's shifty on your ingredient lists. Linoleic acid sounds intimidating to someone who doesn't know it's an omega fatty acid. But there are some resources you can peruse online to dig into your nutrition labels. Often times, it's the dose that makes the poison as well.4

Why don't you make it yourself? It may sound like a ballache but my mum makes her own yogurt with a yogurt maker, it tastes so good and is easy! That way you know exactly what is in it0

Home made yoghurt is easy and fun to do. Even Greek. I used to do it all the time.0

Why not? Makes for a good breakfast!0 -
I personally love the chobani fruit on the bottom yogurt so good.
