Dannon Light & Fit is horrible!
Yuk!!! Dannon Light & Fit is made with the harsh-tasting sugar substitute Aspartame so this product tastes like an auto lubricant. Why don't they just fire the Product Manager who thought a yogurt tasting like artificial chemicals is okay to be named Light & Fit? Are we suppose to want to be light and fit so much that we are suppose to totally ignore the horrible and long-lasting chemical aftertaste? And are we suppose to totally ignore the fact that Aspartame was once banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration because of cancer toxicity, but was vigorously lobbied back into food products by Bush cohort Donald Rumsfeld, the former CEO of Searle, the conglomerate that manufactured Aspartame? Dannon Light & Fit is poison. Go ahead, taste it. And then avoid it.

Ruined a good yogurt
i first started purchasing dannon yogurt way back when juan metzger still owned it. the quality far surpassed any yogurt on the market. the quality first started to slip shortly after beatrice foods bought it, but it was still the best yogurt on the market you could depend on fresh yogurt because you would see the colorful dannon trucks making deliveries to the stores 2 or 3 times weekly.then, shortly before the demise of beatrice foods i noticed a subtle change in their product. since i was attending SUNY at the time, we had it tested and found they were using gelatin to thicken it instead of thickening it naturally with viable cultures. then,when DANONE took over from beatrice, i thoght dannon would be returned to its original greatness. sadly, the yogurt was prostituted even furter by danone, with the addition of several artifical ingredients. i stopped buying dannon about 20 years ago. i recently mistakenly bought some dannon, and was shocked at how bad dannon has become. i tested it and found that it no longer contained a viable culture. that was the original draw of dannon, the health benefits of a viable culture. i will never buy dannon again, and can surmise that juan metzger is turning in his grave.

Dannon Yogart like milk
I bought a (24 count) case of dannon yogart with fruit on the bottom and the yogart poured out like milk. What happened to quality control? I purchased to case of containers of yogart at BJ's in Whitestone New York. I bought a (24 count) case of dannon yogart with fruit on the bottom and the yogart poured out like milk.

The light and fit commercial is gross.
The light and fit commercial is gross. It features Heidi Klum and she *** and slurps the yogurt. It is so gross that I change the channel or hit the mute button. We have a facebook group of people who hate the commercial called "I hate the Light and Fit Commercial". http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000****18629&v=wall&story_fbid=147738****13360#!/group.php?gid=114698****02&ref=ts I called Dannon and asked them to take the commercial off the air. They wouldn't. Interestingly their product also contains aspartame which is bad for you. Dannon has their own facebook group and I have seen several people complain about the commercial too!

Dannon has added Aspartame - what are they thinking?
What has Dannon done to my yogurt? I just got the new Light & Fit Yogurt with the so-called "great new taste." They have added 20 calories, 4 grams of sugar in the form of fructose, acesulfame K (don't know what that is) and ASPARTAME (in other words, Nutrasweet). Aspartame? What are they thinking? The product used to just have sucralose (Splenda). Now they're dumping even more chemicals in it and has that chemical, fake-sugar taste I don't like. I used to think Dannon was reasonably health-conscious. I don't anymore. I'm taking the product back to the store for a refund.

Dannon LightnFit- smaller size, increased cost, worse ingredients
I'm not sure if this is a revelation of what they have been doing and hiding, as far as the ingredients go, but the simultaneous reduction in size and increase in cost is ridiculous. The size of each container was 6oz; it is now 4oz. Despite this reduction in amount, the calorie count somehow remains at 60! One main reason I ate it before was because it was one of the few lower priced yogurts with no fructose; now it's listed twice in the ingredient list. It must be heavy stuff to keep the calorie count up. Sorry, don't have the exact cost increase amount at the moment; it was bought in bulk by a family member.

I agree!! Horrible tasting product.
Had a strong chemical flavor which actually made my mouth burn. I threw away the other 2 containers I bought.
