Families planning a breakfast to share
A selection of flavours and enough pots for everyone make serving breakfast easier. The multipacks listed by Auchan and E.Leclerc include, for example, packs of 16 × 125 g pots.
Who is this guide for?
Shoppers who pay attention to ingredients
Comparing sugars, fat and the ingredients list helps you tell apart recipes that are all labelled as fruit yoghurt.
Fans of fruity or creamy textures
Fruit pieces, blended fruit and creamy recipes all offer different textures. It’s still worth comparing each recipe, as texture alone doesn’t tell you its nutritional values.
What should you look for first?
When comparing fruit yoghurts for the weekend, start with what matters most to you: ingredients, texture, fat content or the number of pots. Then check the exact variety, as a multipack may contain several different recipes.
| Criteria | What to check | Who it’s for |
|---|---|---|
| Ingredients | Compare sugars and fat per 100 g, then read the ingredients for the flavour you’ve chosen. | When choosing my pots, I want to compare what’s in them rather than rely on the front of the pack; around 33% of consumers put this first. |
| Texture and fruit | Look for “with fruit pieces” and the fruit percentage, where it’s listed. | If I like to feel fruit pieces at breakfast, a recipe with blended fruit doesn’t offer the same experience; texture would be the top priority for around 27% of consumers. |
| Fat | Check the amount per 100 g, and look for sweeteners in the ingredients list if you want to avoid them. | I’m looking first for a recipe with less fat, without assuming that “0%” means it’s free from sugars or sweeteners; around 20% of consumers would prioritise this. |
| Pack size and storage | Check the number of pots, the use-by date and the storage instructions on the pack. | When several people are having breakfast together, I want enough pots without buying more than the household can finish in time; pack size would be the main consideration for around 20% of consumers. |
Common misconceptions to avoid
-
Assuming the fruit content from the name or picture
Carrefour product listings show 6% fruit for some flavours in one range and 10% for a Carrefour Bio product; an Auchan multipack listing shows around 10–11%, depending on the flavour. These percentages apply to the recipes mentioned, not every product from these brands.
Check the ingredients for the fruit percentage, where it’s listed, and compare the flavours you’re interested in.
-
Assuming “0%” means no sugars or sweeteners
Carrefour’s listing for a Danone 0% fruit yoghurt includes sucralose and acesulfame-K. So “0%” doesn’t tell you everything about the recipe.
Check the nutritional information and ingredients list for the exact product separately.
-
Choosing a large multipack without checking the date
A multipack with lots of pots should suit what your household can finish before the use-by date, while following the storage instructions.
Check the date before you buy and follow the refrigeration instructions on the packaging.
Brands to know
These examples can help you compare specific recipes; one product’s profile doesn’t apply to the whole brand.
Danone
A 0% fruit yoghurt worth considering if fat content is your top priority.
- Carrefour’s listing for this product gives 0.1 g of fat and 50 kcal per 100 g.
- It also lists sucralose and acesulfame-K; these details don’t apply to other Danone recipes.
Yoplait
The Panier l’Original range includes a recipe described as containing fruit pieces.
- Yoplait’s page for this recipe states that it contains fruit pieces.
- Check the ingredients and nutritional values for the flavour and pack size you choose.
Auchan
Assorted fruit-piece varieties and a creamy recipe give you a choice of textures to compare.
- The listing for the assorted 16 × 125 g pack gives around 10–11% fruit, depending on the flavour.
- The creamy recipe is different: its listing gives 3.4 g of fat and 102 kcal per 100 g.
Carrefour
A standard recipe and a Carrefour Bio product show why it’s worth comparing ingredients product by product.
- Carrefour’s listings show 6% fruit for some flavours in the standard recipe and 10% for the Carrefour Bio product.
- These percentages don’t apply to all Carrefour fruit yoghurts.
Marque Repère / Delisse
The range shown by E.Leclerc includes fruit-blended varieties as well as recipes with fruit pieces.
- The range includes, for example, a pack of 16 × 125 g pots.
- The details of a fruit-flavoured product shouldn’t be assumed to apply to recipes with fruit pieces.

Frequently asked questions
Are fruit yoghurt and fruit-flavoured yoghurt the same thing?
Not necessarily: check the product name and ingredients on each pot. Carrefour listings for the fruit yoghurts mentioned give a fruit percentage, while the term “fruit-flavoured” alone doesn’t tell you how much fruit another recipe contains.
How can I quickly compare two fruit yoghurts?
Compare the nutritional values per 100 g, particularly sugars and fat, then check the ingredients list. Manger Bouger notes that ingredients are listed in descending order by weight; for a multipack, also check the details for each flavour.
Does a 0% fruit yoghurt always contain less sugar?
No: “0%” on its own isn’t enough to compare the sugars in two recipes. Carrefour’s listing for Danone 0% mentions sweeteners; check the sugar content per 100 g and the ingredients for the flavour you’ve chosen.
How should I store yoghurts for the weekend?
Follow the storage temperature on the pack and stick to its use-by date. The Ministry of the Economy explains that a use-by date is a strict deadline for the products it applies to, so choose a multipack size that matches the number of pots you can finish in time.
What should I check on the packaging if I have a milk allergy?
Read the ingredients list and the allergen information on the packaging of the exact product. Anses notes that food labels provide useful information for people with allergies; don’t assume one flavour has the same ingredients as another.
