Which Has More Sugar, Cocojune or So Delicious? 6g vs 15g

TL;DR: Per labeled serving, Cocojune Vanilla Chamomile lists 6 g total sugar and 4 g added sugar per 4 oz (about 113 g), while So Delicious Vanilla lists 15 g total and 15 g added sugar per 150 g container, and Cocojune lists 15 g saturated fat per 4 oz against 3.5 g per container for So Delicious, so sugar and saturated fat point in opposite directions.

These two coconut yogurts cannot be compared on one number, because their labels use different serving sizes (4 oz for Cocojune and 150 g for So Delicious). The ingredient lists also differ in sweeteners, starches and stabilizers, so the panels below are set side by side for you to weigh.

Key takeaways

• Per labeled serving, Cocojune lists 6 g total sugar and 4 g added sugar per 4 oz, while So Delicious lists 15 g total and 15 g added sugar per 150 g container.
• Saturated fat is 15 g per 4 oz for Cocojune and 3.5 g per container for So Delicious, so per-gram comparisons matter when serving sizes differ.
• Cocojune's brand page ingredient list names organic agave syrup and organic tapioca and no gums, while So Delicious uses organic cane sugar and lists pectin and locust bean gum.
• The FDA Daily Value for added sugars is 50 g per day on a 2,000-calorie diet, which gives both added sugar amounts a common reference.
• The Open Food Facts record lists cassava root where the Cocojune brand page says tapioca, so the brand page wording is used for the ingredient lists in this article.

Which Has More Sugar, Cocojune or So Delicious Coconut Yogurt?

So Delicious Vanilla lists 15 g total sugar and 15 g added sugar per 150 g container, while Cocojune Vanilla Chamomile lists 6 g total sugar and 4 g added sugar per 4 oz (about 113 g). Because the containers differ in size, the per-container numbers are not a like-for-like comparison.

Label item	Cocojune Vanilla Chamomile (4 oz)	So Delicious Vanilla (150 g container)
Calories	190	130
Total fat	17 g	4 g (5% DV)
Saturated fat	15 g	3.5 g (18% DV)
Sodium	10 mg	30 mg (1% DV)

Potassium	5% DV	0 mg

Per 100 g, our calculations from the label figures give about 5.3 g total sugar for Cocojune and about 10 g for So Delicious, so Cocojune is lower on both the per-serving and per-100 g measures. These per-100 g figures are our arithmetic on the label numbers, not figures printed on either label.

How Much Added Sugar Is in Cocojune Vanilla Chamomile vs So Delicious Vanilla?

Cocojune lists 4 g of added sugars per 4 oz serving (about 113 g), and So Delicious lists 15 g per 150 g container, which the brand prints as 30% Daily Value. The Cocojune brand page lists grams only, so no %DV for added sugars is printed on that label.

The FDA Daily Value for added sugars is 50 g per day on a 2,000-calorie diet. The FDA describes 5% DV or less as low and 20% DV or more as high, so the printed 30% DV for So Delicious falls in the high band.

The FDA lists added sugars among the nutrients consumers should choose less of, and that guidance applies to both products. The FDA's reference is a daily figure, so the same added sugar amount means different things for different eating patterns.

Is Cocojune Coconut Yogurt Healthy Compared With So Delicious on Saturated Fat?

The label facts do not establish that either product is healthier. Cocojune lists 15 g saturated fat per 4 oz, compared with 3.5 g per 150 g container for So Delicious, but one nutrient on a panel does not measure the overall healthfulness of a food.

The FDA says saturated fat is a nutrient to choose less of. The Cocojune brand page does not print a %DV for saturated fat, while So Delicious lists its saturated fat at 18% DV, so the two panels offer different kinds of context. Reading grams alongside a printed %DV, where one appears, gives a fuller picture.

People who track saturated fat for personal or clinical reasons may find it more useful to compare grams per the amount they actually eat. Anyone planning a specific diet should speak with a qualified clinician. This article cites no outcome studies of these two products, so it cannot show how either one affects health.

How Healthy Is So Delicious Coconut Yogurt on the Nutrition Label?

The So Delicious Vanilla label lists 130 calories, 15 g total sugars and 15 g added sugars per 150 g container, along with 3.5 g saturated fat, but the label alone cannot establish whether the product is a healthy choice for any given person.

The full panel lists 4 g total fat, 30 mg sodium, 22 g total carbohydrate, 2 g fiber, 0 g protein, 230 mg calcium (15% DV), 2 mcg vitamin D (10% DV) and 50% DV for vitamin B12, with one serving per container. The brand page asks shoppers to check the label on the product they buy for the most current nutrition facts, which is sound advice because formulations can change.

The limits of this evidence matter. Label values describe the declared serving and do not show how any individual body responds to a food. Whether either product fits a particular diet remains a question for a qualified professional.

Which Coconut Yogurt Has More Saturated Fat per Serving?

Cocojune Vanilla Chamomile has more saturated fat per labeled serving, at 15 g per 4 oz, compared with 3.5 g per 150 g container for So Delicious. Per 100 g, using our arithmetic on the label figures, Cocojune comes to about 13.2 g and So Delicious to about 2.3 g. Neither label prints these per-100 g numbers.

The per-container and per-100 g views point in the same direction, and the gap is large either way. Total fat also differs, at 17 g for Cocojune and 4 g for So Delicious, so reading the total fat line alongside saturated fat gives more context.

A practical checklist for comparing saturated fat on any yogurt label:

• Check the serving size first, since 4 oz and 150 g are different amounts.
• Convert to grams per 100 g when serving sizes differ.
• Look for a printed %DV, noting that the Cocojune brand page lists grams only.
• Read the total fat line alongside the saturated fat line.

What Gums and Stabilizers Are in Cocojune and So Delicious Yogurt?

Cocojune's brand page ingredient list names no gums, while So Delicious Vanilla lists pectin and locust bean gum among its ingredients. Cocojune instead lists organic tapioca as its starch, and So Delicious lists rice starch.

On the So Delicious label, pectin and locust bean gum appear in the 'Contains 2% or Less of' group. The label does not explain what role they play beyond the ingredient names.

Shoppers who want to avoid specific gums should check the ingredient list on the package they buy, since formulas can change between flavors and production runs.

Does Cocojune Use Carrageenan, and Is It Listed on the Label?

The Cocojune ingredient list on its brand page does not name carrageenan. That does not establish whether carrageenan is absent from every flavor or batch, so the package in hand is the final check.

This article does not make claims about carrageenan beyond what the listed Cocojune ingredients show.

What Are the Full Ingredient Lists for Cocojune and So Delicious Vanilla?

The Cocojune brand page lists: 'organic coconuts, water, organic agave syrup, organic tapioca, organic vanilla extract, organic vanilla, organic chamomile, vegan probiotic cultures.'

The main differences on the labels are:

• Sweetener: Cocojune lists organic agave syrup, and So Delicious lists organic cane sugar.
• Starch: Cocojune lists organic tapioca, and So Delicious lists rice starch.
• Thickeners: So Delicious lists pectin and locust bean gum, and Cocojune names none.
• Flavoring: Cocojune names vanilla extract, vanilla and chamomile, while So Delicious lists natural flavor.
• Added nutrients: So Delicious lists calcium citrate, vitamin D2 and vitamin B12, while Cocojune names no added vitamins or minerals.

The Open Food Facts record for Cocojune's 'Organic Cultured Coconut' (barcode 0852614006509) lists cassava root where the brand page says tapioca, and spring water where the brand page says water. The brand page is the source for the wording used above.

How Do Cocojune and So Delicious Compare on Live Cultures and Fortification?

Cocojune names six live culture strains on its brand page, while So Delicious lists only 'Live and Active Cultures' without naming any. Neither label discloses colony-forming unit (CFU) counts.

Cocojune's named cultures are Bifidobacterium anim. s. lactis BB-12, Lactobacillus acidophilus LA-5, Lactobacillus paracasei CRL 431, Lactobacillus delbrueckii s. bulgaricus, Streptococcus thermophilus and L. rhamnosus. Naming strains does not show how many are present or what they do in the body, and no gut-health benefit claim is disclosed for either product.

On fortification, Cocojune's panel lists vitamin D at 0%, calcium at 1%, iron at 3% and potassium at 5% DV. So Delicious lists vitamin D at 2 mcg (10% DV), calcium at 230 mg (15% DV), iron at 0.3 mg (2% DV), potassium at 0 mg and vitamin B12 at 50% DV.
