                      ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
                      OF INTERNATIONAL YOGURT COMPANY
                              March 28, 1996

     This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation
of proxies to be used at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of
International Yogurt Company (the "Company"), to be held at the Portland
International Airport Conference Center (located in the main airport
terminal), 7000 N.E. Airport Way, Portland, Oregon, Thursday, March 28,
1996, at 2:00 Pacific Time (the "Meeting").

     Proxies in the form enclosed are solicited by the Board of Directors. 
Execution of the proxy will not in any way affect a shareholder's right to
attend the Meeting and vote in person, and shareholders giving proxies may
revoke them at any time before they are exercised by submitting (i) a
written revocation prior to commencement of the Meeting to the Secretary of
the Company at 5858 N.E. 87th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97220 or at the
Meeting, or (ii) a duly executed proxy bearing a later date prior to
commencement of the Meeting with the Secretary of the Company at 5858 N.E.
87th Avenue, Portland, Oregon 97220 or at the Meeting.  Proxies in the form
enclosed, unless previously revoked, will be voted at the Meeting as set
forth herein and in the proxies.

     Only the holders of common stock are entitled to vote at the Meeting. 
At the close of business on February 23, 1996, the record date, there were
2,190,043 shares of common stock issued and outstanding (the "Common
Stock").  These shares are entitled to be voted by the holders thereof on
each proposal submitted to a vote at the Meeting.

     The entire cost of solicitation of proxies will be borne by the
Company, including expenses incurred by banks, brokers, and other nominees
in forwarding soliciting materials to their principals and obtaining
authorization for the execution of proxies.  Proxies may also be solicited
personally or by telephone or telegraph by directors, officers and other
employees of the Company, but such persons will not be specifically
compensated for this service.


                           ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
                              (Notice Item 1)

     Solicitation of proxies will be by the Board of Directors.  It is
intended that votes will be cast pursuant to the enclosed proxy for the
persons listed below to serve as directors, unless authority to do so is
withheld.  The number of directors of the Company is presently set at
eight members.

     Shares voted at the Meeting may be voted for only up to eight nominees
for director. The Company's Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws do not
provide for cumulative voting.  The accompanying proxy, when properly
executed and returned to the Company will be voted for the eight nominees,
unless authority to vote is withheld for a nominee or all the nominees.  If
any of the nominees herein shall unexpectedly become unavailable for
election, the proxies will be voted for a substitute proposed by the Board
of Directors.  Directors will be elected by a plurality of the shares,
voting in person or by proxy, at the Meeting.

     All of the nominees are currently members of the Board of Directors
whose present terms of office will expire at the Meeting.  The nominees, if
elected, will hold office until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders or
until their duly qualified successors are elected.



     The following table shows as to each nominee for Director, the

Plan").  The 401(k) Plan is administered by an administrative committee
appointed by the Board of Directors.  The trustees for the 401(k) Plan are
John N. Hanna, David J. Hanna and Roger H. Olson and the custodian for
the 401(k) Plan is Massachusetts Mutual, which receives all contributions
from employees and any contributions by the Company.  All employees,
including all executive officers, are eligible to participate in the 401(k)
Plan after completion of one year of service.  Employees may choose
to contribute on a pre-tax basis up to five percent of their compensation,
subject to certain limitations.  The 401(k) Plan allows for the Company
to make contributions to the plan on behalf of employees and in each of the
last three years the Company has made a contribution equal to 1.26
percent of the compensation paid to eligible employees.
<PAGE>
Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

         The Company's Board of Directors has established a Compensation
Committee comprised of two non-employee directors.  The Compensation
Committee is responsible for establishing and administering the policies of
the Board with respect to the annual compensation of the Company's
Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers.  The Compensation
Committee is also responsible for administering the 1987 Restated Non-
Qualified Employee Stock Option Plan and the 1994 Combined Incentive and
Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan, including determination of the timing
and amount of stock option grants under those plans.

         In February of each year the Compensation Committee receives the
recommendations of the Company's Chief Executive Officer as to the
salaries and other benefits of the Company's Executive officers for the
coming year by the Compensation Committee. These recommendations are then
considered and acted upon by the Compensation Committee taking into account
the following objectives:

     *   Reward successes in resolving critical issues in the development
         of new markets for the Company's products.
     *   Preservation of cash resources to fund operations and new product
         development.
     *   Increase the profitability of the Company, and, accordingly,
         increase shareholder value.
     *   Align the interests of management with those of the Company's
         shareholders through equity based incentive compensation.

The Compensation Committee also considers the cash compensation and other
benefits paid to executive officers with similar responsibilities by
other companies in the same industry and by other publicly held companies
of similar size.  It is perceived by the Compensation Committee that
the cash compensation paid by the Company to its executive officers,
including its Chief Executive Officer, are significantly below the cash
compensation paid by other similar companies.  However, the Company
continues to need to utilize its available cash resources to finance
operations and new product development and, as a result, salaries paid to
executive officers have only been increased modestly.

         In order to supplement the cash compensation paid to executive
officers, the Compensation Committee has from time-to-time granted them
stock options under the 1987 Restated Non-Qualified Employee Stock Option
Plan.  These stock options have all been granted with exercise prices
equal to the then market value of the Company's Common Stock and thus they
provide the executive officers and the other employees with long-term
incentives directly tied to the enhancement of shareholder values by
allowing them to share in the appreciation of the market value of Company's
Common Stock.

         During 1996, the Compensation Committee will continue to carefully
consider executive compensation in relation to the Company's performance
and the opportunities and challenges which the Company faces.

(1)      The potential realizable value portion of the foregoing table
         illustrates values that might be realized upon exercise of the
options immediately prior to the expiration of their term based upon the
assumed annual compounded rates of appreciation in the value of the
Company's Common Stock as specified in the table over the term of the
options.  These numbers are not discounted to their present value and do
not take into account provisions of the stock options providing for
termination of the option following termination of employment and the
nontransferability of the stock options.

(2)      Each of the stock options were granted at 100% of the fair market
         value of the Company's Common Stock on the date of the stock 
option grant based upon the average between the closing bid and asked
prices on that date.  The option exercise price may be paid in cash, by
surrender for cancellation of shares of Common Stock owned by the executive
officer or in any other form of valid consideration or a combination of any
of the foregoing as determined by the Compensation Committee in its
discretion.

(1)      On October 31, 1995, the closing price of the Company's Common
         Stock was $2.19.  For purposes of the foregoing table, stock
options with an exercise price less than this amount are considered to be
"in-the-money" and are considered to have a value equal to the difference
between this amount and the exercise price of the stock option multiplied
by the number of shares covered by the stock option. Stock options issued
under the 1994 Stock Option Plan were "in-the-money" on that date.




Stock Performance Chart

         The following chart compares the yearly percentage change in the
cumulative shareholder return on the Company's Common Stock during the five
fiscal years ended October 31, 1995 with the cumulate total return on (i)
the Russell 2000 Index and (ii) the Standard & Poors Food Products Index. 
This comparison assumes $100.00 was invested on October 31, 1990 in the
Company's Common Stock and of the comparison groups and assumes the
reinvestment of all cash dividends prior to any tax effect and the
retention of all stock dividends.

                 TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND MANAGEMENT

         Since 1987, Norpac Foods, Inc. and Norpac Food Sales (collectively
"Norpac") have served as the Company's broker and exclusive sale agents for
selling the Company's branded products in the United States, subject to
certain exceptions.  The Company has access to Norpac's customer list and
uses Norpac's brokers, warehouses and truck fleet to distribute its branded
products and Norpac fulfills the functions of order taking, invoicing,
credit qualifying and collection on the Company's sales of these branded
products.  During the year ended October 31, 1995, the Company paid Norpac
brokerage fees and commissions which totaled approximately $426,000.  In
addition,  marketing and advertising expenses for which Norpac was entitled
to reimbursement from the Company totaled approximately $183,000.

          Norpac Foods, Inc. holds 75,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock, 3.5 percent of the outstanding Common Stock on February 23, 1996. 
As of October 31, 1995, the Company owed Norpac approximately $140,000 on a
note receivable.  In addition, the Company on October 31, 1995 had a trade
payable to Norpac of approximately $192,000 and a account receivable from
Norpac of approximately $189,000.

         The Company, from time-to-time, has retained the services of Rush,
Hannula & Harkins, a law firm in which William J. Rush, a director of the
Company, is a partner.  During the year ended October 31, 1995, the Company
did not pay any legal fees to that law firm.



               COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16 FILING REQUIREMENTS

         Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended,
("Section 16") requires that all executive officers and directors of the
Company and all persons who beneficially own more than 10 percent of the
Company's Common Stock file and initial report of their ownership of the
Company's securities on Form 3 and report changes in their ownership of the
Company's securities on Form 4 or Form 5.  These filings must be made with
the Securities and Exchange Commission and the National Association of
Securities Dealers with a copy sent to the Company.

         Based solely upon the Company's review of the copies of the
filings which it received with respect to the fiscal year ended October 31,
1995, the Company believes that all reporting persons made all filings
required by Section 16 on a timely basis.
