Who are these options for?

Anyone keeping an eye on fat

You’re looking for a 0% fruit yoghurt for brunch, while also wanting to check the sugars and recipe ingredients separately.

Guests keeping an eye on protein

You want to know how much protein is in the dairy product served alongside the other brunch dishes. Compare the nutritional values for the specific flavour you’re interested in, rather than relying on the range name.

Anyone hosting a shared brunch

You need to choose enough pots and flavours for your guests, then keep the yoghurts at the stated temperature until it’s time to serve.

What should you look for in a brunch yoghurt?

Start with what matters most to you — fat, ingredients, protein or serving size — then compare the exact products on their labels.

Criteria	What to check	Who is it for?
Fat	The amount per 100 g and the claim on the pot; check the recipe too if you’re comparing several 0% products.	My main aim is to limit the fat in my fruit yoghurt, without assuming that the 0% label means anything else. Around 38% of consumers prioritise this.
Sugars and sweeteners	The ‘of which sugars’ line per 100 g and whether the ingredients include sucralose or acesulfame-K.	If the ingredients in my yoghurts matter more than their fat content alone, I want to be able to make an informed choice. This is the main consideration for around 31% of consumers.
Protein	The protein content per 100 g of the flavour you’ve chosen, particularly if you’re deciding between a fruit yoghurt and a skyr.	I’m looking for a fruity dairy option with clearly stated protein content to include in my brunch; around 16% of consumers prioritise this.
Portions and storage	The number and size of the pots, the use-by date and the stated storage temperature.	When hosting several people, I want enough portions without buying an oversized multipack, and I need to be able to keep the pots chilled. This comes first for around 15% of consumers.

To compare fat, sugars or protein, use the same 100 g basis and bear in mind the portion you’ll actually serve. According to Yoplait’s product information, the protein content of its Skyr ranges varies from 7.8 to 9.3 g per 100 g; this range may not apply to every fruit flavour. Multipacks of 8 or 16 pots of 125 g are listed by Carrefour, Auchan, Danone and Delisse, among others, but the number you need depends on what else you’re serving.

What should you watch out for?

Reading ‘0%’ as ‘sugar-free’ or ‘sweetener-free’

The claim refers to fat. Product information for some Danone, Carrefour, Auchan and Delisse fruit yoghurts lists sucralose or acesulfame-K in certain recipes.

Check the fat content, the ‘of which sugars’ line per 100 g and the ingredients list for the product you’ve chosen separately.
Assuming all fruity products contain the same amount of protein

Yoplait lists 7.8 to 9.3 g of protein per 100 g across its Skyr ranges, while an Auchan product listing for a low-fat fruit yoghurt gives 4.5 g per 100 g. These figures apply to different products, not every product in each category.

If protein is guiding your choice, compare the per-100 g value on the exact pots you’re thinking of serving.
Choosing a large multipack without planning how you’ll serve it

A pack of 16 pots may suit a larger gathering, provided you have enough fridge space and follow the use-by date and storage temperature on the packaging.

Count your guests and consider the other desserts before choosing a pack size; keep the yoghurts chilled during transport and until brunch.

Any leftover pots may not be eaten before their use-by date.
Making a decision based on conflicting product information

Yoplait’s Panier 0% page pairs the claim ‘fat-free’ with a table showing 3.8 g of fat per 100 g. These details aren’t enough to confirm that figure as a reliable characteristic of the pack you want.

If you come across a contradiction like this, check the nutritional information on the packaging actually being offered, or ask the brand for clarification before choosing.

Brands and ranges to know

These products offer points of comparison for reduced-fat fruit yoghurts and dairy products you might serve at the same brunch. Their characteristics vary by product and flavour.

Danone

Auchan’s product listing for a Danone mixed-fruit stirred yoghurt, 0%, describes a pack of 16 pots of 125 g and states that it contains 50 kcal per 100 g.

The pack size and ingredients are detailed, making it easier to plan several portions; the product information says to store it between +1 °C and +6 °C.
This recipe contains sucralose and acesulfame-K. Check the allergens on the pack you choose, too.

Yoplait

Yoplait offers Panier 0% fruit yoghurts and, in a separate range, skyrs with stated protein content ranging from 7.8 to 9.3 g per 100 g, depending on the product.

These ranges let you consider a fruit recipe labelled 0% separately from an option chosen for its protein content.
The Panier 0% product information contains conflicting details about fat, so check the values on the specific pack. Don’t assume the figures for one skyr apply to every flavour.

Carrefour

Carrefour Classic' product information describes fruit yoghurts with pieces, 0%, in a pack of 8 pots of 125 g.

For this product, Carrefour states that it contains 0.5 g of fat per 100 g and 10% fruit, depending on the flavour.
The ingredients list includes sucralose and acesulfame-K; check the list for the flavour you choose.

Auchan

An Auchan product listing features a 0% low-fat fruit yoghurt in a pack of 16 pots of 125 g, with less than 0.5 g of fat per 100 g.

For this product, the listing specifies 5.6 g of sugars and 4.5 g of protein per 100 g, and storage between 0 °C and +6 °C.
The recipe contains fruit and sweeteners. If their presence matters to you, read the ingredients for the product you choose.

Delisse / Marque Repère E.Leclerc

E.Leclerc’s product listing describes Delisse fruit yoghurt, 0%, in a pack of 16 pots of 125 g.

The ingredients list includes skimmed milk and 10% fruit, depending on the variety.
The list also includes acesulfame-K and sucralose. If you’re considering this product, check with your local E.Leclerc store about availability.

Frequently asked questions

What does ‘0%’ mean on a fruit yoghurt?

It refers to fat, not the overall ingredients. In the European Union, Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006 states that a ‘fat-free’ or equivalent claim can only be used if the product contains no more than 0.5 g of fat per 100 g or 100 ml. Check the other nutritional values and the ingredients in the yoghurt you choose, too.

Is a 0% fruit yoghurt also free from sugars and sweeteners?

No, the 0% label tells you nothing about sugars or sweeteners. Product information for some Danone, Carrefour, Auchan and Delisse recipes lists sucralose or acesulfame-K. Check the ‘of which sugars’ line and the ingredients list for the flavour you buy.

How can you use Nutri-Score to choose between two brunch desserts?

Where it’s displayed, Nutri-Score can help you compare products in the same aisle or eaten on the same occasion, as Manger Bouger explains. It doesn’t replace checking the ingredients, nutritional values and portion you plan to serve.

How should you store yoghurts before brunch?

Follow the storage temperature and use-by date on each pack, including during transport. The French ministry responsible for consumer affairs advises that breaking the cold chain can make a product unsafe to eat; once opened, follow the manufacturer’s instructions as well.

Can you serve 0% yoghurt to a child under three?

For children under three, Manger Bouger says that 0%, skimmed and semi-skimmed products aren’t suitable. If young children are joining your brunch, choose a separate product for them rather than assuming that 0% yoghurts intended for the other guests are suitable for their age.
