Hosts catering for different tastes
If adults and children don’t all like the same fruit, an assortment means you don’t have to serve just one flavour. Auchan’s ranges from Yoplait and its own brand each include 16 pots in a selection of flavours.
For an Easter lunch with a mix of tastes, an assortment of 16 fruit yoghurts, each weighing 125 g, lets you offer a choice of flavours – provided you have enough pots for your guests and any meals afterwards. Then choose a recipe to suit the textures people enjoy: with fruit pieces, creamy or 0% fat. Compare the sugar content and ingredients of the specific multipack, too. Check its use-by date and make sure you have room in the fridge.

Sugar, fat and the ingredients list matter more than the simple claim “with fruit”. Danone products featured by Carrefour and Auchan include both a 0% fat recipe and a creamy recipe, so compare them product by product.
A family-size multipack needs to fit in your fridge, and you need to be able to eat the yoghurts before their use-by date. The French Ministry of the Economy reminds shoppers that this date must be observed when it appears on a product.
For a family Easter lunch, start by choosing a recipe and flavours that will suit everyone at the table. Then choose the number of pots to match your guests and any meals afterwards.
Consider this: if several guests want to choose their own flavour and enjoy pieces of fruit. The Panier de Yoplait and Auchan multipacks featured by Auchan each contain 16 pots of 125 g.
Compare: the sugar per 100 g and the range of flavours. An assortment doesn’t guarantee that everyone will like every pot.
Consider this: if you’re looking for a creamy texture. The Danone 16 × 125 g multipack featured by Auchan combines whole milk, cream and pieces of fruit.
Compare: this product contains 3.2 g of fat and 13.7 g of sugar per 100 g. These figures don’t apply to all creamy recipes.
Consider this: if fat content is your main priority. The Danone 16 × 125 g multipack featured by Carrefour states that it contains 0.1 g of fat per 100 g.
Check: “0%” doesn’t mean sugar-free or dairy-free; this product also contains sweeteners.
| What to consider | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Flavours and texture | Check which flavours are in the multipack and whether it contains pieces of fruit. | If my guests don’t all like the same fruit, I want to give them a choice of flavours without committing to one texture. Variety would be the top priority for around 45% of consumers. |
| Ingredients | Compare the sugar and fat per 100 g, then read the ingredients and allergen information. | If I’m looking for a particular recipe, I’d rather compare the exact product than rely on “creamy” or “0%”. Around 33% of consumers would make ingredients their top priority. |
| Portions and storage | Work out how many pots you need, and check the use-by date and storage instructions. | If there may be pots left over after the meal, I need to be able to keep them chilled and plan when to eat them. Portion planning would come first for around 22% of consumers. |
Any portions left uneaten after lunch will need to be stored as directed on the packaging and eaten before their use-by date.
Count how many people will have a yoghurt, then check the multipack’s use-by date and make sure you have room in the fridge.
