For a late-evening snack, compare 0% recipes if fat content is your main consideration; if texture matters more, look at yoghurts with fruit pieces or cream. Check the nutrition information per 100 g and the ingredients for your chosen flavour, as the 0% recipes reviewed contain sweeteners. Terms such as “mature” or “ripened” are no substitute for this information when choosing a fruit yoghurt.
If these are your main considerations for a late-evening snack, 0% options are worth comparing. Check the ingredients too: the Carrefour product pages reviewed for Danone and Carrefour Classic' options list sweeteners.
If texture matters more to you, distinguish between yoghurts with pieces of fruit and recipes made with cream. Yoplait, for example, offers a creamy recipe made with whole milk and cream; compare its nutritional values with those of the flavour you have in mind.
If you compare sugars, fat, sweeteners or allergens, read the nutrition table and ingredients list for the specific product. The DGCCRF states that allergenic ingredients must be highlighted on the label.
When choosing a late-evening snack, start with what matters most to you, then compare the values per 100 g before taking the portion you plan to eat into account.
| Criterion | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Calories and fat | Compare both values per 100 g, then check the pot size; the term “0%” doesn’t tell you everything about the recipe. | For my late-evening snack, I mainly want to choose based on calories or fat without giving up a fruity taste; around 31% of consumers put this need first. |
| Sugars and ingredients | Read the “sugars” line per 100 g and the ingredients list, particularly to check for sweeteners and allergens. | I’d rather know what’s in my chosen flavour than rely on terms such as “fruit” or “0%”; around 31% of consumers share this priority. |
| Texture and fruit pieces | Check whether the recipe contains pieces of fruit, whole milk or cream, then look at its nutritional values. | Fruit pieces or a creamy texture matter more to me than choosing a 0% recipe; around 25% of consumers prioritise texture. |
| Pack size and storage | Choose a number of pots that suits your consumption and check the use-by date and storage instructions. | If I buy several pots for the evenings ahead, I need to be able to keep them chilled and eat them before their use-by date; storage comes first for around 13% of consumers. |
The Carrefour product pages reviewed for Danone 0% and Carrefour Classic' 0% list sucralose and acesulfame-K. So the fat percentage alone won’t tell you whether a product meets your preferences about ingredients.
Read the ingredients list for the exact flavour before choosing.
The specific products reviewed have different nutritional values: the Carrefour Classic' 0% product page states 42 kcal per 100 g, while the Auchan page for classic yoghurt with fruit pieces states 92 kcal and 14 g of sugars per 100 g.
Compare the same nutritional information per 100 g, then factor in how much you plan to eat.
A near use-by date or transport without keeping the product chilled may make the pack size unsuitable for how quickly you’ll get through it. Anses reminds consumers that products with a use-by date must not be eaten after that date.
Check the use-by date when you buy, keep transport time to a minimum and follow the storage instructions on the packaging.
A 0% fruit option gives you a recipe to compare in terms of calories, fat and ingredients.
Yoplait’s ranges make it easy to distinguish between yoghurt with fruit pieces and a creamy recipe.
A 0% fruit option with pieces gives you a useful example of this type of recipe to compare.
The classic fruit yoghurt with pieces is another recipe to consider if texture is your priority.
This strawberry fermented milk drink may appeal if you prefer a small, drinkable format. It isn’t a substitute for a spoonable fruit yoghurt when comparing textures.

This drinkable format is a good choice if you’re looking for a small fruity portion rather than a spoonable yoghurt.
The pack contains four 125 ml drinks. To compare its contents with another product, check the basis used in each nutrition table: values per 100 ml aren’t directly comparable with values per 100 g.
Compare their nutritional values per 100 g, then check the portion sizes and ingredients for the flavours in question. The DGCCRF says that information per 100 g makes comparisons easier; focus on calories, fat and sugars according to your priorities.
No. “0%” doesn’t guarantee that a product is free from sugars or sweeteners. The Carrefour product pages reviewed for Danone 0% and Carrefour Classic' 0% list sweeteners; check the ingredients list and the “sugars” line for the specific product.
According to Anses, a product with a use-by date must not be eaten after that date. Check the wording on the pot, and don’t confuse a use-by date with a best-before date.
Keep chilled yoghurt cold during transport and put it in the fridge as soon as you can, following the product’s storage instructions. Anses recommends maintaining the cold chain and observing the use-by date; choose a pack size you can finish while meeting these conditions.
