Red Mango is a frozen yogurt chain founded in South Korea in 2002 that has gained popularity in the United States. The company is known for using natural ingredients in making "authentic frozen yogurt" that is both tart and creamy. Red Mango frozen yogurt is also considered to be healthy — the company announced in 2007 that it became the first retailer of natural frozen yogurt to receive the National Yogurt Association's Live and Active Culture Seal, [cite press release |title=Red Mango Certified By The National Yogurt Association To Use The Live And Active Culture Seal |publisher=Red Mango |date=2007-08-23|url=http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/08-23-2007/0004650344&EDATE= |format= |language= |accessdate=2008-01-24] a certification given to yogurt manufacturers whose products have live and active culture counts in amounts that researchers have determined to have positive health benefits.
