About Yogurt
Fresh yogurt is generally prohibited or restricted due to short shelf life and bacteria content (even beneficial probiotics). Shelf-stable, sealed yogurt products may be allowed in some countries. Dried yogurt products or yogurt powder face fewer restrictions. Always declare yogurt products at customs as they are considered dairy.
