If it has the bran, the germ, and the endosperm: the whole grain stamp, the basic stamp - 6 servings/day, the 100% stamp - 3 servings/day, makes it easier for shoppers. Food labeling: how do we make sense of the food labels: label claims, nutrient content claims. Low fat = 3 grams or less per serving.

Strained: expensive, thicker and creamy, more saturated fat. Increase protein: greek style, thickened not strained.
