If a creamy texture matters more than a sweet taste, start by comparing plain Greek-style yoghurts: the ingredient lists for the Carrefour Extra and Auchan products mentioned here do not list any added sugar. If your child refuses plain yoghurt, you could consider a fruit version and compare the sugars per 100 g. Your child’s age and any known milk allergy should take priority over the choice of flavour.
A smooth, creamy texture might be the first thing to try, without going straight for a sweetened recipe. The plain Greek-style yoghurts described by Carrefour and Auchan contain milk and cream; check the ingredients and fat content of the product you choose.
If flavour affects whether your child will eat it, it’s worth comparing a fruit or sweetened recipe with a plain one. Check the ingredients and sugars per 100 g separately: a flavoured version won’t necessarily have the same composition.
For children under 3, Manger Bouger advises that 0%, skimmed and semi-skimmed products are not suitable. If your child has a known milk allergy, follow their individual guidance. At school, an individual care plan can set out adaptations to mealtimes, according to the Ministry of National Education.
If your child is a fussy eater, start with what’s making mealtimes difficult — texture, taste or an individual dietary requirement. Then compare recipes using their labels rather than relying on how sweet they seem.
| Criteria | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Texture and plain recipe | Compare the product description, ingredients and fat per 100 g. A creamy texture doesn’t guarantee that your child will like the taste. | If my child is unsure about yoghurt, I want to try a creamy texture without starting with a sweetened recipe; around 42% of consumers in this group would put texture first. |
| Fruity or sweet taste | Check the sugars per 100 g and the ingredients list. The Delisse mango-layer recipe listed by E.Leclerc contains 11,1 g of sugars per 100 g, with sugar making up 7,3 % of its ingredients. | If a fruity taste is what will persuade my child to try yoghurt, I want to know what’s in the recipe; around 33% of consumers in this group would put flavour first. |
| Age and known allergy | For children under 3, take account of the age guidance from Manger Bouger. If your child has a known milk allergy, check the allergens and follow their individual guidance, including any arrangements for school meals. | If my child is young or has a known allergy, I need to check their requirements before choosing a flavour; around 25% of consumers in this group would put suitability first. |
A fruit recipe may taste sweeter without having the same composition as plain yoghurt. The Carrefour and E.Leclerc product listings respectively show 3,8 g of sugars per 100 g for Carrefour Extra plain and 11,1 g for Delisse with a mango layer.
Compare the sugars per 100 g and the ingredients lists of the products you’re actually considering.
Manger Bouger advises that 0%, skimmed and semi-skimmed products are not suitable for children under 3.
Check the age the product is intended for, and ask your child’s healthcare professional for advice if you have a specific question about their diet.
The Carrefour Extra and Auchan plain recipes described here contain milk. A texture or product name doesn’t make it safe to ignore a known allergy.
Follow the individual guidance agreed with the relevant professionals and, for school meals, the individual care plan if there is one.
Auchan says that the composition of its product may vary depending on the delivery service and purchase date. If your decision depends on the ingredients or allergens, check the product you’re buying.
