Why this product is unclean:

The company claims that no insect parts are in the product but I had my doubts so I investigated.<br /><br />Dannon yogurts are marked as kosher the &#092;&quot;plain K&#092;&quot; which is always suspect.<br /><br />I learned the name and contact information of the inspector and he claims, &#092;&quot;The insect is collected from the cactus plant and exposed to the sun until it becomes thoroughly dry and brittle. In this state, rendered unfit for animal consumption, the insect loses its status as a forbidden substance in Jewish Law.&#092;&quot;<br /><br />Absolute nonsense.<br /><br />Here are the Dannon Yogurts that contain the unclean product (please check the ingredient label to confirm):<br /><br />Activia: Strawberry-blueberry, Prune, Mixed Berry, Cherry, Strawberry-raspberry. <br /><br />Activia Greek: Strawberry, Blueberry, Fruit on the bottom regular, Raspberry, Cherry, Mixed Berry, Strawberry-Banana, <br /><br />Light &amp; fit: Pomegranate, <br /><br />Oikos Greek: Strawberry, Blueberry
