    Yogurt (yoghurt) is a thick, gelatinous substance produced by the fermentation of sugars in milk. It commonly contains cultures of Streptococcus salivarius, S. thermophilus, Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. casei and L. bifidus. There is a drinkable form called kefir, but yogurt is generally too thick to drink.

    Yakult is a citrus-flavored, yogurt-like drink that contains water, skim milk, glucose syrup, sugar, flavoring, and cultures of the bacterium Lactobacillus casei. This drink is manufactured and sold in Japan, Asia, Australia, Latin America, and Europe.
