For a buffet serving individual portions, several fruit yoghurts are available in packs of 4 × 125 g. Choose between fruit pieces and blended fruit, depending on the presentation you want, then check the ingredients, allergens and storage instructions for each product. If you need a large tub instead, confirm this format before choosing packs of individual pots: they are designed for different ways of serving.
You want to offer pots whose flavour and recipe are easy to identify at serving time. Carrefour, Auchan and E.Leclerc list fruit yoghurts in packs of 4 × 125 g; check that this pack size suits the number of portions you need to prepare.
You compare the ingredients and nutritional information for the exact product, particularly its sugar and fat content per 100 g. If you require an organic label or a stated milk origin, check this on the product you choose rather than assuming it applies to an entire brand.
You need to be able to match each yoghurt served to its ingredients, especially when its packaging is no longer visible. The products reviewed contain milk; keep the information up to date for every recipe and whenever you change supplier.
First decide whether your buffet will use individual pots or a large tub. If you choose pots, compare the recipes and the conditions needed to serve them.
| Criterion | What to check | Consumers concerned |
|---|---|---|
| Individual portions | Number of pots, weight per pot and flavours in the pack. Several products listed by Carrefour, Auchan and E.Leclerc come in packs of 4 × 125 g. | If I want to serve portions that are already separated, the size of each pot matters before I choose a flavour. This would be the top priority for around 33 % of consumers. |
| Storage and allergens | On-pack instructions and information linking each recipe to its allergens. Auchan product listings for Panier de Yoplait and Auchan Bio specify storage between 0 °C and +6 °C maximum. | When the packaging is not visible at the buffet, I need to be able to identify the ingredients in each yoghurt while ensuring it is stored correctly. Around 27 % of consumers would put this requirement first. |
| Recipe and texture | Fruit pieces or blended fruit, ingredients list and nutritional values per 100 g for the product ordered. | To offer the texture guests expect at breakfast, I want to compare the recipes without relying on the flavour name alone. This would be the top priority for around 20 % of consumers. |
| Organic and stated origin | Claims shown on the pot you choose. The Auchan Bio strawberry listing describes an organic product in a pack of 4 × 125 g and states that its organic milk is of French origin. | If my requirements call for an organic product or a stated milk origin, these claims guide my choice. Around 13 % of consumers would make this their top criterion. |
| Supply | Whether the chosen product can be ordered and how repeat orders are handled by the relevant supplier. | To keep the buffet stocked with the same recipe, I want to know whether I can reorder it regularly. This would be the top priority for around 7 % of consumers. |
A pack of 4 × 125 g provides separate portions; serving yoghurt from a large tub requires a different set-up. So choose the format before you choose the recipe.
Decide how much you need to serve and how guests will help themselves before selecting products.
Two fruit yoghurts can differ in whether they contain pieces, as well as in their ingredients and nutritional values. The figures for one product do not represent the whole range.
Check the ingredients and nutritional information per 100 g on the product you are actually ordering. In particular, distinguish sugar content from the proportions of ingredients listed in the recipe.
The products reviewed contain milk. Once the pots have been separated from their outer packaging, it can be difficult to match each recipe to its ingredients accurately.
Make sure you have a reliable way to identify each yoghurt and its allergens at the buffet. Update this information if the recipe or supplier changes.
