Who is this choice for?

Families looking to share a multipack

You want to keep some individual pots for desserts and snacks while saving a few for the occasional recipe. Carrefour, Auchan and E.Leclerc, for example, stock multipacks of 12 or 16 pots of 125 g.

People making a smooth biscuit batter

If you don’t want visible pieces in your biscuits, look for descriptions such as ‘smooth’ or ‘blended’: fruit yoghurts don’t all have the same texture.

People who pay attention to ingredients

If your recipe already contains sugar, compare the sugars and ingredients in the pot you choose. If you’ll be sharing the biscuits with someone who has an allergy, check the allergens listed on the packaging too.

What should you look for?

Start by working out how many portions you’ll actually use, then check the texture and ingredients of the yoghurt you plan to add to your biscuits. The use-by date and storage instructions are also important when buying a multipack of chilled products.

Criterion What to check Who is it for?
Number of portions Compare packs of 12 or 16 pots of 125 g with the desserts and recipe you have planned. I want to set aside a pot for biscuits without buying extra packs for the household’s desserts; around 36% of consumers might prioritise the number of portions.
Ingredients for the recipe Check the sugars per 100 g and the ingredients list, then refer to the quantity specified in your recipe. If my recipe already contains sugar or calls for natural yoghurt, I want to know what’s in the pot I’ve chosen; around 29% of consumers might put this first.
Texture Look for descriptions such as ‘smooth’, ‘blended’ or ‘with fruit pieces’, depending on the texture you want. For my biscuits, I’d rather decide in advance whether fruit pieces will be visible; this could be the priority for around 21% of consumers.
Allergens and storage Check the listed allergens, use-by date and storage instructions for the pack. I share the biscuits and yoghurt pots with other people, so I need to take their dietary requirements into account and make sure I can use the pack in time. Around 14% of consumers might prioritise these checks.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Treating fruit yoghurt like natural yoghurt

    Sugar, ingredients and texture vary between products. These differences matter when a biscuit recipe calls for natural yoghurt.

    Choose your yoghurt before making the batter, then check its ingredients and the recipe instructions rather than assuming you can substitute it in the same quantity.

  • Choosing fruit pieces when you want a smooth batter

    Products described as ‘with fruit pieces’ may leave visible pieces in the batter, unlike those labelled ‘smooth’.

    Check the texture description on the product and choose one that will give your biscuits the finish you want.

  • Buying a large pack without planning how you’ll use it

    A pack of 16 pots only makes sense for your household if you can use the remaining portions by their use-by date and in line with the storage instructions.

    Count the pots you’ll need for desserts and your recipe, then check the date and instructions on the packaging before choosing between 12 and 16 pots.

Fruit yoghurt brands to consider

Yoplait

Two products in packs of 16 pots of 125 g cater for different texture preferences: Frulos, fruit-flavoured yoghurt, and Panier de Yoplait, described as containing fruit pieces.

  • According to its Auchan product listing, the Panier de Yoplait pack includes yellow and red fruit flavours.
  • Don’t assume products in one range have the same ingredients or texture as another; check the pot you choose for your recipe.

Danone

Auchan lists its Activia fruit yoghurt in packs of 12 pots of 125 g and describes it as smooth, with no fruit pieces.

  • This description makes it easier to choose a yoghurt without visible pieces of fruit.
  • Check its ingredients before using it in a recipe that calls for natural yoghurt.

Carrefour

Carrefour stocks a multipack of 12 fruit yoghurt pots of 125 g.

  • This pack size lets you compare your needs with those of a 16-pot pack.
  • If you’re using it for baking, check the texture and ingredients of the specific product you choose.

Auchan

Auchan’s range includes fruit yoghurts with pieces, blended or stirred, as well as products with fruit at the bottom.

  • These descriptions can help you find the texture you want for desserts or your recipe.
  • Check the ingredients and nutritional information for the specific product: range descriptions don’t apply to every recipe.

DELISSE / Marque Repère E.Leclerc

E.Leclerc stocks DELISSE fruit yoghurts, either blended or with fruit pieces, including packs of 12 or 16 pots of 125 g.

  • The pack size and texture description make it easier to compare products for your intended use.
  • Don’t assume the ingredients or nutritional values of one variety apply to the others.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use fruit yoghurt instead of natural yoghurt in biscuits?

Don’t assume you can substitute it in the same quantity. Fruit yoghurts vary in their sugars, ingredients and texture. Choose a recipe that specifies the type of yoghurt to use, and check the label on the pot you’ve selected.

Should I use yoghurt with or without fruit pieces in biscuits?

Choose a product described as smooth if you don’t want visible pieces of fruit in the batter. If you’d like fruit pieces, check that they’re suitable for the recipe you’re making.

What should I check if I’m sharing the biscuits with someone who has an allergy?

Check the allergens highlighted in the ingredients list of the product you buy. The yoghurts mentioned contain milk; also check the other ingredients in the pot and the full recipe before sharing the biscuits.

How should I choose between 12 and 16 pots?

Choose a pack size that lets you use the portions for desserts and your recipe before the use-by date. Before buying, also check the storage instructions on the packaging and make sure you have enough room in the fridge.
