Stonyfield Organic Greek Nonfat Yogurt Plain - 32 oz: Full Nutrition, Labelgrade B+ (82/100)
B+ 82 / 100 — Clean ingredient list, very low saturated fat, effectively zero sugar, and very low sodium.
🛒 Buy on Amazon →The short answer
Stonyfield Organic Greek Nonfat Yogurt Plain delivers 16g of protein for 90 calories per 180g serving (USDA FDC 2757843) — and it does it with a single ingredient on the label: cultured pasteurized organic nonfat milk. It earns a B+ (82/100), with perfect marks on saturated fat, sodium, and sugar. This is the USDA-organic plain Greek yogurt in a 32 oz tub — the clean-label, buy-it-by-the-quart alternative to Fage and Chobani.
Why the B+
| Dimension | Grade | Score | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Protein density | C | 63 / 100 | 8.9g per 100g — you reach 16g by eating a big serving, not by weight; mostly water |
| Ingredient quality | A- | 86 / 100 | One ingredient, zero additives — among the shortest labels in the category |
| Saturated fat | A+ | 100 / 100 | 0g — it’s nonfat strained milk |
| Sodium | A+ | 100 / 100 | 65mg per serving (10mg per oz) — very low |
| Sugar | A+ | 100 / 100 | 5g, all naturally-occurring lactose; no added sugar |
| Fiber | F | 30 / 100 | 0g, structural — no dairy protein carries fiber |
The honest read: the only thing keeping this out of the A range is protein density (C), and that’s a measuring quirk, not a flaw. The score is per 100g, where strained yogurt looks unimpressive because it’s largely water — but per serving the 16g is a legitimate “high in protein” portion. The fiber F is unavoidable for any dairy product. Everything Labelgrade actually penalizes for — added sugar, sodium, saturated fat, additives — this yogurt aces.
The organic is the whole point
Strip away the certification and this is a textbook plain nonfat Greek yogurt — which is exactly why the organic seal is the reason to reach for it over the cheaper twin. Look at the head-to-head: Chobani Plain Non-Fat posts the identical 16g protein and 90 calories per 180g, and scored an 81 to Stonyfield’s 82. The macros won’t decide it. What separates them is that Stonyfield’s milk comes from cows raised to USDA organic standards (no synthetic hormones, antibiotics, or non-organic feed), and its label lists one ingredient where Chobani spells out its six cultures. If organic dairy matters to you, this is the plain Greek yogurt that delivers it without compromising the nutrition.
What the single-ingredient label buys you
“Cultured pasteurized organic nonfat milk” is as short as a yogurt label gets, and the contrast across the shelf is real:
- Fage Total 5% adds cream (hence 160 calories and 6g saturated fat) plus five named cultures — richer, but a different macro profile entirely.
- Oikos Pro Vanilla chases a higher 20g protein, but does it with added whey protein concentrate, plus tapioca starch, stevia, and a preservative — a fourteen-item label engineered for protein, not a plain yogurt.
- Stonyfield does none of that. No gums to thicken it, no whey to spike the number, no sweetener. The 16g and the 5g of sugar are both just what’s left after the milk is cultured and strained.
That’s the trade you’re making: Stonyfield won’t win a protein-per-cup contest against a whey-fortified tub, but nothing on its label needs explaining.
How it compares
| Product | Protein per serving | Per 100 g | Calories | Sat. fat | Label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stonyfield Organic Plain (this product) | 16g | 8.9g | 90 | 0g | 1 ingredient, organic |
| Chobani Plain Non-Fat | 16g | 8.9g | 90 | 0g | nonfat milk + cultures |
| Fage Total 5% | 15g | 8.8g | 160 | 6g | milk + cream + cultures |
| Oikos Pro Vanilla | 20g | 8.3g | 140 | 0g | whey-fortified, sweetened |
Read across: Stonyfield and Chobani are statistical twins on every macro, so the choice between them is organic vs. price. Fage trades 70 extra calories and 6g of saturated fat for a creamier full-fat texture. Oikos buys its 4 extra grams of protein with added whey and a longer ingredient list. Stonyfield’s lane is leanest-and-cleanest, certified organic.
The 32 oz tub is the value format
This is the quart tub, not a single-serve cup — roughly five 180g servings, about 80g of protein total. Buying the big tub is the cheapest way into organic Greek yogurt: you portion it yourself, skip the per-cup packaging markup, and use it where plain yogurt shines — as a sour-cream swap, a smoothie base, a marinade tenderizer, or a bowl you sweeten with your own fruit (keeping the added sugar at the zero the label starts with). The only shopper better served elsewhere is someone who specifically wants grab-and-go single cups or is chasing the absolute highest protein-per-serving, where a whey-fortified yogurt wins.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much protein is in Stonyfield Organic Greek Nonfat Yogurt Plain?
16 grams per 180g serving for 90 calories (USDA FDC 2757843). That's 8.9g of protein per 100g, or about 2.5g per oz. The full 32 oz tub holds roughly 80g of protein across five servings.
Is this the same as Chobani or Fage plain Greek yogurt?
Nutritionally it's a dead ringer for Chobani Plain Non-Fat — both are 16g protein and 90 calories per 180g. The differences are the certification (Stonyfield is USDA Organic; Chobani plain is not) and the label (Stonyfield lists one ingredient; Chobani adds its six named cultures). Fage Total 5% is the full-fat sibling: similar protein but 160 calories and 6g saturated fat from the cream.
What makes it 'organic,' and does that change the nutrition?
The 'Organic' on the tub means the milk comes from cows raised to USDA organic standards — no synthetic hormones, antibiotics, or non-organic feed. It does not change the macros: an organic and a conventional nonfat Greek yogurt with the same straining will post nearly identical protein, fat, and sugar. You're paying for the sourcing, not a different nutrition label.
Why only a C for protein density if it's 'high in protein'?
Two different yardsticks. Per serving, 16g clears the FDA 'high in protein' bar (it's 32% of the 50g Daily Value). But Labelgrade's protein-density score is per 100g, and at 8.9g/100g this yogurt is mostly water — you hit 16g by eating a large 180g serving, not because the food is protein-dense by weight. That's normal for any strained yogurt and is the single thing capping the grade.
Does it have added sugar?
No. The USDA entry lists no added sugar; the 5g of sugars per serving is naturally-occurring lactose from the milk. Straining removes much of the whey (and its lactose), which is why a plain Greek yogurt runs lower in sugar than regular plain yogurt.
Is it a clean enough label for Whole30 or a strict elimination diet?
The ingredient line is a single item — cultured pasteurized organic nonfat milk — with no gums, starches, sweeteners, or added flavors. (Whole30 itself excludes dairy, so it isn't compliant there, but for a clean-label or additive-free screen it's about as bare as a dairy product gets.)
