Who are these options for?

Hosts making a dessert or dip to share

A large pot lets you take out just the amount you need for dessert glasses or a dip. Auchan lists FAGE Total 0% in a 950 g pot; plan your serving so you can quickly put any leftovers back in the fridge.

Guests who prefer yoghurt with 0% fat

The product name doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about its nutritional values. Auchan’s listings for FAGE Total 0% and DELTA 0% show 0 g of fat per 100 g, compared with 8.5 g per 100 g for Carrefour Extra Nature Greek-style yoghurt.

Anyone making a savoury yoghurt recipe

For tzatziki or a cold dip, choose a product whose flavour and ingredients suit your recipe. Lidl suggests using its Eridanous Greek-style yoghurt this way; if you’re also looking for a 0% option, check the nutritional information on the pack you choose.

What should you prioritise?

For dinner with friends, start with what matters most to you: fat content, how you’ll serve it, the recipe, or precautions around milk and storage. Then check which product and pack size best meet your needs.

Criteria What to check Who it’s for
Fat content Compare the ‘fat’ figure per 100 g on the pack of the exact product you’re buying. Don’t rely on the words ‘Greek-style’ alone. If my main concern is limiting the fat in the yoghurt I serve, its composition matters more than its texture or pack size. This would be the top priority for around 36% of consumers.
Pack size and serving Compare the total net weight and number of pots, depending on whether you’re making something to share or individual desserts. To avoid dividing up dessert at the table, I prefer individual pots; for making a dip, I’d choose a larger container. Around 29% of consumers would prioritise how the yoghurt is served.
Recipe and texture If you’re making a recipe that you’ll season yourself, check whether the product is plain and read the ingredients list. When I’m making tzatziki or a dessert with toppings, I’m first and foremost looking for a base that suits the result I want. The recipe would be the priority for around 21% of consumers.
Milk and storage Check the allergens, storage temperature and use-by date on each pack. If a guest needs to avoid milk or the meal will last a long time, I check the ingredients first and plan to keep the yoghurt chilled while serving. These precautions would be the main priority for around 14% of consumers.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming ‘Greek-style’ means ‘0%’

    Nutritional values vary by product: Carrefour lists 8.5 g of fat per 100 g for Extra Nature, while Auchan’s listings for FAGE Total 0% and DELTA 0% show 0 g per 100 g.

    If 0% matters to you, check the ‘fat’ figure for the product you’re planning to serve.

  • Choosing a pack size without planning how to serve it

    The two 150 g DELTA pots add up to 300 g, compared with 950 g for the FAGE pot listed by Auchan. They’re suited to different needs: individual desserts and recipes made to share.

    Estimate how much you’ll need for your recipe and compare the total net weight before choosing.

  • Leaving the yoghurt on the table throughout the meal

    Anses recommends limiting the time that temperature-sensitive food is left at room temperature. So, if you’re serving from a large opened pot, take extra care.

    Keep the yoghurt chilled until you’re ready to serve, take out what you need and quickly return the rest to the fridge, following the instructions on the pack.

  • Relying on a marketing claim when the nutritional information doesn’t match

    The Yoplait Panier 0% page combines a ‘0%’ description with a nutrition table showing 3.8 g of fat per 100 g. This discrepancy means you shouldn’t rely on the claim alone when choosing the product.

    In this case, check the nutritional information on the pack of the exact product before buying.

Brands and ranges to know

FAGE

Auchan lists FAGE Total 0% as plain strained Greek yoghurt in a 950 g pot, which can be used as a base for something to share.

  • The listing shows 0 g of fat and 10.3 g of protein per 100 g; the ingredients include skimmed milk and cultures.
  • The product contains milk and its listing says to keep it chilled at a maximum of 7 °C.

DELTA

Auchan lists DELTA 0% strained Greek yoghurt in two 150 g pots, ready to serve individually.

  • The listing shows 0 g of fat and 9.6 g of protein per 100 g.
  • The two pots contain 300 g in total. The product contains cow’s milk and its listing says to keep it between 2 °C and 6 °C.

Carrefour Extra

The Greek-style Nature option is worth comparing if you care more about this type of yoghurt’s texture than finding a 0% product.

  • Carrefour sells this product in four 150 g pots.
  • Its listing mentions whole milk, cream and 8.5 g of fat per 100 g, so it isn’t a 0% option.

Delisse / Marque Repère E.Leclerc

E.Leclerc lists, among other options, a 1 kg pot of plain Delisse Greek yoghurt, a size worth considering for several guests.

  • The 1 kg pot could work well for a recipe or to serve a group.
  • If you’re looking for a 0% option, check the fat content of the product you choose before comparing it with the FAGE or DELTA pack sizes.

Eridanous / Lidl

Lidl suggests using Eridanous Greek-style yoghurt plain or in cooking, including in tzatziki.

  • This gives you an option for a savoury or sweet recipe.
  • If 0% is a priority for your dinner, check the fat content on the pack of the product you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Is Greek-style yoghurt always low in fat?

No. The term doesn’t tell you how much fat it contains. Carrefour Extra Nature’s listing shows 8.5 g per 100 g, compared with 0 g per 100 g on Auchan’s listing for FAGE Total 0%. Compare the nutritional information for each product.

Which pack size should I choose for several guests?

A large pot works well if you’re making a dip or adding yoghurt to several desserts, while individual pots save you having to divide it up at the table. Auchan lists FAGE Total 0% in a 950 g pot and DELTA 0% in two 150 g pots. Choose a total weight that suits your recipe and the number of guests.

How can I keep yoghurt chilled until dinner?

Follow the storage temperature on the packaging and only take the yoghurt out when you’re ready to serve. Anses recommends limiting the time temperature-sensitive food is left at room temperature and quickly returning any leftovers to the fridge.

Do FAGE Total 0% and DELTA 0% contain milk?

Yes. Auchan’s listings for both products mention milk. If you’re hosting someone who needs to avoid it, check the allergens on each pack and don’t assume that another Greek yoghurt recipe will be suitable for them.
