Who are these options for?

Fans of ready-to-serve fruit yoghurts

You’d like to serve a choice of flavours at breakfast while opting for a lower-fat recipe. Sugars, sweeteners and the number of pots are still worth checking separately.

People who like to build their own bowl

You’d rather start with natural skyr and add the fruit yourself. This option takes a little preparation, but lets you choose what goes in.

Shoppers who check the ingredients list

You want to know whether a recipe contains sweeteners or flavourings. ‘0%’ won’t tell you that, so check the label for the flavour you’ve chosen.

What should you look at first?

First decide whether you want a ready-to-eat fruit yoghurt or a bowl made with natural skyr. Then compare the nutritional information of products in the same category and choose a pack size that suits the number of breakfasts you have planned.

What to look at What to check Who is it for?
Sugars and sweeteners Compare sugars per 100 g in similar recipes and read the ingredients list to spot sweeteners. I want a ready-to-serve fruit yoghurt, but I also want to make an informed choice about whether it’s sweetened with sugar or sweeteners. This would be the top priority for around 33% of consumers.
Fat Check the fat content per 100 g for the exact product, rather than relying on the ‘0%’ claim alone. If reducing fat matters more than anything else for my breakfast, I compare the declared amounts. Around 27% of consumers would put this need first.
Protein and product type Compare protein on the same basis, per 100 g or per serving, and distinguish between fruit yoghurt, natural skyr and high-protein dairy products. I prefer to put together a bowl with fruit and choose my dairy product based, in particular, on its protein content. This would be the top priority for around 20% of consumers.
Pack size Choose the number of pots to suit the people you’re serving, and check the use-by date and storage instructions. For a shared breakfast, I want enough pots without buying more than we can eat. Around 20% of consumers would make pack size their top priority.

What should you watch out for?

  • Assuming ‘0%’ describes the whole recipe

    This claim refers to fat. Fruit yoghurts labelled 0% can also contain sugars and sweeteners, as shown on the Carrefour and E.Leclerc product pages for the products reviewed.

    To compare two similar recipes, check the fat, sugars and protein per 100 g, then read their ingredients lists.

  • Choosing a large multipack without checking the dates

    A multipack is only practical if you can store it as instructed and eat it in time. The French Ministry of the Economy, in particular, stresses the importance of maintaining the cold chain.

    Before buying, match the number of pots to the breakfasts you have planned and check the use-by date on the pack.

    Pots you don’t eat in time could go to waste.

  • Treating all fruit-flavoured dairy products as fruit yoghurts

    Natural skyr needs fruit added to it, while a flavoured dairy dessert won’t necessarily contain pieces of fruit. The product description and recipe will affect what you serve.

    First choose between a ready-to-eat fruit recipe and a bowl you put together yourself, then check the product description and ingredients.

Frequently asked questions

Does a ‘0%’ fruit yoghurt necessarily contain little sugar?

No: ‘0%’ refers to fat, not necessarily sugars. Some recipes also contain sweeteners, so compare the sugars per 100 g and the ingredients list for the product you choose.

Is the Nutri-Score enough to help you choose between these products?

No: Manger Bouger presents it as a tool for comparing products in the same aisle. Also check the nutritional values, serving size and ingredients if sugars, fat or sweeteners are important to your choice.

How can you plan enough yoghurts for the whole weekend?

Choose enough pots for the number of people and breakfasts you have planned. Follow the storage instructions and use-by date on the pack; the French Ministry of the Economy reminds shoppers that breaking the cold chain can make a product unsafe to eat.

What should you check on the label if you need to avoid milk as an allergen?

Before buying, check the ingredients and allergens listed for the exact product and flavour. Don’t assume that one pot has the same ingredients as another product in the same range.
