To give dessert more presence, choose a yoghurt with fruit pieces or a fruit layer if you want a noticeable texture and visible fruit. A stirred yoghurt with blended fruit is a better choice if you prefer a smooth texture. If fat content is your priority, compare 0% fat recipes without assuming they are low in sugars or free from sweeteners. Before dinner, also check the flavours, use-by date and storage instructions.
If presentation matters as much as flavour, the descriptions of Panier de Yoplait, Yoplait skyr with a fruit layer and Delisse yoghurt with large fruit pieces offer distinct textures to compare before choosing your portions.
If this is your main consideration after a meal, check the sugar content and ingredients too: the Danone and Auchan 0% fat products listed by Carrefour France and Auchan contain sweeteners.
To put together an assortment that’s easy to serve, compare the number of pots and the flavours in each pack. Before dinner, also check the use-by date and storage instructions for each product.
For this dinner, texture first determines the role your yoghurt will play in the dessert. You can then compare the ingredients and pack size to find recipes that suit your guests.
| Criteria | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit and texture | Look for descriptions such as ‘with fruit pieces’, ‘large fruit pieces’, ‘with a fruit layer’ or ‘blended fruit’, then check the fruit content if it’s stated. | I want to see the fruit and feel its texture on the spoon to make the presentation special; around 50% of consumers would prioritise this feature of the dessert. |
| Ingredients after a meal | Compare the fat and sugar content per 100 g, and check the ingredients list for sweeteners. | After a substantial meal, I’d rather choose based on fat content first, without confusing it with sugar content; around 30% of consumers would put this aspect of the recipe first. |
| Portions and serving | Check the number of pots and flavours in the pack, then look at the use-by date and storage temperature on the packaging. | When serving several guests, I mainly need portions and flavours that will suit the group; around 20% of consumers would put ease of serving first. |
This term doesn’t tell you about the texture or the amount of fruit. Yoplait, Danone and Delisse product descriptions instead distinguish between fruit pieces, blended fruit and a fruit layer.
If you want a dessert with noticeable fruit, start with the descriptions on the product, then compare the flavour and ingredients of the specific product you’re considering.
The Danone and Auchan 0% fat products described by Carrefour France and Auchan contain sucralose and acesulfame K. The fat claim alone doesn’t tell you everything about the recipe.
Check the fat and sugar values separately, then read the ingredients list for the exact flavour you’re considering.
According to the French Ministry of the Economy, the use-by date is a strict deadline for the products it applies to. The DGCCRF reminds consumers that higher temperatures shorten the shelf life of food products.
Check the date before you buy, follow the storage temperature on the packaging and keep the yoghurts chilled until you’re ready to serve them.
Ingredients and warnings may vary by flavour. E.Leclerc, for example, warns that its Delisse product with large fruit pieces may contain fragments of cherry stones.
Check the ingredients and warnings for each flavour, especially if a guest needs to avoid an ingredient or certain pieces of fruit.
These details apply to specific recipes, so always check the label on the yoghurt and flavour you plan to serve.
Recipes with fruit pieces and a skyr with a fruit layer offer two distinct ways to serve yoghurt.
Fruit yoghurts with blended fruit and 0% fat options, with textures and ingredients to suit different preferences.
Packs of 16 × 125 g, with either a stirred yoghurt with blended fruit or a yoghurt with large fruit pieces, depending on the product.
A reduced-fat fruit yoghurt sold in a pack of 16 × 125 g, making it easy to compare portion sizes and ingredients.
A retailer whose range includes fruit yoghurts from several brands in a variety of pack sizes.
On its own, this word doesn’t help you choose a particular texture or recipe. For a dessert with more texture on the spoon, look instead for descriptions such as ‘with fruit pieces’, ‘large fruit pieces’ or ‘with a fruit layer’, then check the ingredients and flavour.
No. A 0% fat claim doesn’t mean either of those things. The Danone and Auchan products listed by Carrefour France and Auchan contain sucralose and acesulfame K. Check the sugar content per 100 g and the ingredients list for the product you choose.
Follow the storage temperature on the packaging, keep the products chilled and check their use-by date before serving. The French Ministry of the Economy reminds consumers that the use-by date is a strict deadline for the products it applies to.
Before serving, check the allergen information for each yoghurt and every flavour in the pack. The Yoplait, Danone and Auchan products described here contain milk, but the ingredients in one recipe don’t tell you what’s in another.
