Best documented: ingredients, cell count and nutrition per bottle stated
Yakult Probiotic Drink, 10 x 80 ml (JS Online Store)
₱178 ₱22.25 per 100 ml
Quick verdict
Overall pick Yakult Probiotic Drink, 10 x 80 ml (JS Online Store)
Yakult scores higher overall (72 vs 68): its listing is the only one that states the strain, the cell count per bottle, the ingredients and the nutrition, and its registration runs to April 2028. Dutch Mill Delight costs less per 100 mL (₱19 vs ₱22.25) and has far more sales (10,000 vs 4,000) from a bigger shop, but its listing says nothing about the drink. Neither brand has an official Shopee store, and both drinks need keeping cool.
Choose Yakult if
You want the listing that states the strain, the cell count (8 billion per 80 ml bottle), the ingredients and the nutrition per bottle, and you will check the dates on the bottles because the shop is a small regular shop.
Choose Dutch Mill Delight if
You want the lower price per 100 mL from a larger shop with more sales, and you accept a listing that gives no ingredients, strain or nutrition and a description about dented cans.
The overall pick follows the weighted Wellness Picks score (72 vs 68 out of 100), not the number of criteria won below.

Criterion by criterion
Where the evidence is not strong enough to call a winner, we say so.
What you will care about when choosing
Dutch Mill Delight is about ₱19.00 per 100 mL (₱95 for 5 x 100 mL). Yakult is about ₱22.25 per 100 ml (₱178 for 10 x 80 ml).
Evidence: Shopee prices checked 26 October 2026, from our probiotic drinks guide.
Yakult states the strain, 8 billion viable cells per 80 ml, the ingredients, nutrition per bottle, a 45-day expiry and "keep refrigerated". The Delight listing gives only a title and a delivery notice about cans.
Evidence: Both Shopee listings.
Yakult Cultured Milk (FR-4000008115115) is valid to 6 April 2028. Dutchmill Delight (FR-4000011277914) is valid to 5 June 2027, with a second record to 16 June 2027.
Evidence: FDA Philippines portal, as checked for our guide.
JC Online Grocery has 39,550 followers and a 91% response rate, with 963 ratings on the Delight listing. JS Online Store has 1,642 followers and a 67% response rate, with 523 ratings on the Yakult listing.
Evidence: Shopee shop pages as read for our guide.
Neither shop says how the chilled drinks are stored or shipped. Yakult's text says to keep refrigerated; the Delight listing says nothing about storage.
Evidence: Both Shopee listings.

Final result
Dutch Mill Delight won more rounds, but Yakult’s lead on listing disclosure (17 vs 3 of 20 points) counts for more in the weighted score.
Rounds count every row equally. The weighted Wellness Picks score does not, and it decides the pick. On the scoring axes, a lead of at least 10% of the axis points counts as a round won.
Evidence and limits
- Yakult: listing checked 2026-10-25; registration FR-4000008115115.
- Dutch Mill Delight: listing checked 2026-10-25; registration FR-4000011277914.
- We compare what each listing and the FDA record state; we did not use or test either drink. General information, not medical advice. The probiotic claims are the makers', not ours.
- Not compared for lack of evidence: taste, how either drink affects digestion, and the real condition of the bottles on arrival.
- The Yakult attribute fields show a shelf life of 2 months and an expiry date of 10/05/2025, which conflict with the 45 days in the text. Neither listing prints a registration number.
- Neither brand has an official store on Shopee, so both ranked listings are from regular shops; the Delight price on Lazada from the same shop is ₱87.58 for the same pack.
- Prices change; a price change does not change a score unless we re-score the product. This is general information, not medical advice.
