Frequently asked questions

Is yogurt safe during pregnancy?
No harmonised CLP classification for yogurt and no SCCS/CIR safety assessment identifying reproductive hazards. Yogurt (a complex food-derived mixture of proteins, lipids and microbes) has no documented human teratogenicity or animal reproductive toxicity in the regulatory literature reviewed (ECHA Annex VI, CIR, PubMed/CosIng). Therefore default no-evidence scores are applied.
Is yogurt safe while breastfeeding?
No evidence of reproductive or lactation-specific hazard, no harmonised flags, and no mechanistic data indicating transfer into breastmilk from topical cosmetic use. Regulatory sources (ECHA Annex VI, CosIng, PubChem) do not list concerns for yogurt as a cosmetic ingredient.
Is yogurt safe for baby skin?
No intrinsic reproductive or developmental hazard identified (h=0,m=0). For exposure, adult dermal absorption from yogurt-containing topical products is expected to be negligible (large proteins, lipids), but infant skin has higher permeability; therefore exposure score is increased by +1 (e=1) relative to adults in absence of data demonstrating zero absorption.
How does VeriMom score yogurt?
