Households planning to have several pots during the week
You’re looking for fruit yoghurts to enjoy as desserts or snacks and need to choose a multipack that fits in your fridge and can be finished before its use-by date.
Who is this guide for?
Shoppers keeping an eye on sugars and sweeteners
You don’t want to mistake ‘0% fat’ for ‘no sugars’ or ‘no sweeteners’, so you check both the nutrition table and the ingredients list.
Shoppers interested in protein or live cultures
You’re happy to compare a skyr or a fruit recipe that lists cultures with a standard 0% fruit yoghurt, taking into account differences in recipe and pack size.
What should you look for?
When doing your weekly shop, first check the ingredients in the recipe you’re considering, then look at the number of pots and their use-by date. Protein or cultures are separate considerations if you’re also thinking about trying other recipes.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Fat | Compare the ‘fat’ figure per 100 g and make sure it applies to the flavour and variant you’re buying. | If I’m mainly looking for a reduced-fat fruit yoghurt for desserts during the week, I want to know the fat content of the recipe I’ve chosen; around 42% of shoppers rank fat as their top consideration. |
| Sugars and sweeteners | Check the ‘of which sugars’ figure per 100 g and the ingredients list, especially if you want to avoid a recipe containing sweeteners. | ‘0%’ isn’t enough if choosing ingredients that suit me is my main concern; around 25% of shoppers make sugars and sweeteners their top priority. |
| Pack size and storage | Count how many pots you expect to eat, then check the use-by date and storage instructions. | For my weekly shop, a large multipack is only useful if I can store and eat all the pots in time; around 17% of shoppers prioritise this kind of planning. |
| Protein or cultures | Compare the protein content per 100 g on the exact variant or check which cultures are listed in its ingredients. | I’m happy to try a different texture or pack size if protein content or cultures matter more to me; around 16% of shoppers prioritise one of these features. |
Mistakes to avoid
-
Assuming ‘0% fat’ means ‘no sugars’
Nutrition information for some 0% fruit yoghurts lists sugars, while their ingredients include sucralose or acesulfame K. Fat content alone doesn’t tell you everything about a recipe.
For the variant you’re considering, compare the ‘fat’ and ‘of which sugars’ figures per 100 g, then read the ingredients list before choosing a large multipack.
-
Buying a large multipack without checking the date
The number of pots should match what your household can eat before the use-by date. The French Ministry of the Economy also stresses the importance of maintaining the cold chain for foods that need to be kept chilled.
Check the date on the pots and the storage instructions, including when collecting or taking delivery of your shopping.
Pots that aren’t eaten in time may go to waste.

Comparing protein without checking the recipe
Yoplait lists different protein levels for its skyrs. A skyr won’t necessarily have the same flavour, texture or pack size as a multipack of 0% fruit yoghurts.
Check the protein content per 100 g and the exact variant name before choosing it instead of your usual multipack.

Frequently asked questions
Are ‘0%’ fruit yoghurts free from sugars and sweeteners?
No: ‘0%’ refers to fat here, not necessarily sugars or sweeteners. Product listings for Danone, Auchan and Delisse variants mention sweeteners. Compare the ‘of which sugars’ and ‘fat’ figures per 100 g, as well as the ingredients in the pot you choose.
How do you choose a multipack of yoghurts for the whole week?
Choose a number of pots your household can eat before the use-by date, following the storage instructions on the packaging. Check the date when buying or collecting the multipack, and keep it chilled during transport.
Does ‘0%’ mean a fruit yoghurt contains no milk?
No: the 0% fruit yoghurts listed by Carrefour France, Auchan France and E.Leclerc all include milk. If you need to avoid this ingredient, check the ingredients list and allergen information on every pack, as the fat claim doesn’t tell you whether milk is present.
