Who are these formats for?

Households keeping an eye on fat

You’re looking for a sharing-size option and comparing fat per 100 g, rather than relying on the words ‘Greek-style’ alone.

Families who serve yoghurt by the spoonful

You regularly use plain yoghurt at home and prefer to portion it out from a 950 g to 1 kg tub.

Shoppers who prefer ready-portioned options

You want to share individual pots around the household, while checking whether the recipe meets your fat-content requirements.

What should you look at first?

If you’re choosing a family-size option as part of a lower-fat diet, compare the nutrition information per 100 g first, then check the packaging, ingredients and storage instructions.

Criteria What to check Who is it for?
Fat The amount per 100 g and the ingredients list, particularly whether it contains cream. If I want to limit fat, the product name alone isn’t enough to guide my choice. Around 33% of shoppers with this priority would make fat content their main consideration.
Sharing-size format The net weight of the tub and the storage instructions once opened. At home, I prefer to serve the amount I want from a large tub. Around 27% of shoppers with this priority would choose a sharing-size format above all.
Protein and recipe Protein and fat per 100 g, as well as the product description. If protein also matters to me, I compare the amounts without losing sight of the fat content. Around 20% of shoppers with this priority would put both criteria first.
Individual portions The number of pots, the weight of each one and the fat per 100 g. When portions need to be shared between several people, individual pots make serving easier. Around 20% of shoppers with this priority would choose this format first.

Common mix-ups to avoid

  • Confusing ‘Greek’, ‘Greek-style’ and ‘0%’

    These terms don’t, by themselves, tell you the same thing about a product’s nutrition. Carrefour France listings show 0 g of fat per 100 g for DELTA 0%, compared with 7 g for Danone’s Greek-style multipack and 10 g for the Carrefour Original tub.

    Check the ‘fat’ figure per 100 g for the specific product you’re planning to buy.

  • Choosing a multipack for its portions without checking the recipe

    Danone’s 8 x 150 g pots make it easy to portion out, but the Carrefour France listing says they contain cream and have 7 g of fat per 100 g.

    Before choosing this multipack, decide whether ready-portioned pots or fat content matters more to you.

  • Buying a large tub without planning how to store it

    A 950 g to 1 kg tub needs to be kept chilled during transport, stored according to its label and eaten at a pace that suits your household. The Ministry of Agriculture highlights the consumer’s role in maintaining the cold chain.

    Check the instructions on the tub and plan how you’ll get it home and into the fridge.

  • Treating skyr as Greek yoghurt

    Carrefour France describes Yoplait’s 850 g Skyr Protéiné 0% as a Nordic-style recipe. It belongs to a different category, so it may not suit a search specifically for Greek yoghurt.

    Compare it as a separate alternative if a large format and the nutrition information matter more to you than the product description.

Brands to compare

These products show why a large format or a ‘Greek-style’ recipe alone doesn’t tell you how much fat a yoghurt contains.

DELTA

Carrefour France lists this 0% Greek-style yoghurt in a 1 kg tub.

  • The listing shows 0 g of fat per 100 g and lists skimmed milk and lactic cultures.
  • With a single large tub, you’ll need to serve the portions yourself and follow the storage instructions once opened.

FAGE

Auchan France lists FAGE Total 0% in a 950 g tub.

  • The listing shows 0 g of fat and 10.3 g of protein per 100 g.
  • A large tub is best suited to households that can keep it chilled and eat it within the recommended storage period.

Danone

Carrefour France lists this family-size pack of plain Greek-style yoghurt as 8 x 150 g pots.

  • Individual pots make it easy to share portions without serving from one large container.
  • This recipe contains cream and has 7 g of fat per 100 g, so it isn’t the 0% option described for DELTA or FAGE.

Yoplait

Carrefour France lists the 850 g tub of Skyr Protéiné 0% as a different category to compare.

  • The listing shows 0.5 g of fat per 100 g.
  • This is skyr, not Greek yoghurt, so check that the product description matches what you’re looking for.

Carrefour Original

Carrefour France lists this Greek yoghurt in a 1 kg tub.

  • The large tub lets you serve several portions from one container.
  • The listing shows 10 g of fat per 100 g, so choosing a family-size format alone won’t meet a low-fat requirement.

Frequently asked questions

Is Greek-style yoghurt always low in fat?

No. The product description is no substitute for checking the nutrition information. Carrefour France listings show 0 g of fat per 100 g for DELTA 0%, 7 g for Danone’s Greek-style multipack and 10 g for the Carrefour Original tub.

Which format should I choose if I want to serve the portions myself?

A large tub lets you spoon out each portion as needed. Carrefour France lists DELTA 0% in a 1 kg tub, while Auchan France lists FAGE Total 0% in a 950 g tub. Choose a size that suits how quickly you’ll use it and the product’s storage instructions.

How should I store a large tub of yoghurt?

Follow the packaging instructions and keep the product chilled during transport. Auchan France’s listing for FAGE Total 0% says to store it chilled at no more than 7 °C and advises against freezing. Check the instructions for any other product you’re considering.

What should I check if I need to avoid milk?

Check the ingredients and allergen information for each product before buying. The dairy products featured here list milk as an ingredient. Neither ‘0%’ nor choosing a large format means ‘milk-free’.
