For individual desserts, choose a pack of four pots. If your household regularly uses Greek-style yoghurt in several recipes, a 1 kg tub may be a better fit. Compare the portion sizes and recipes, then check the storage instructions for after opening before choosing a large tub.
If you regularly make desserts, sauces or side dishes, a large tub means you don’t have to open several small pots. Carrefour offers a 1 kg tub; check the packaging for storage instructions after opening.
Four separate portions let you serve one pot per person and choose your own toppings at mealtimes. Carrefour Extra, Auchan and Delisse each offer a 4 × 150 g pack of plain yoghurt.
If you want the flavour already mixed into the yoghurt, fruit-layered versions serve a different purpose from a plain yoghurt base. Delisse’s mango and strawberry product listings show added sugar, so compare their ingredients and sugars per 100 g.
For winter meals, start by thinking about how you’ll serve the yoghurt: in separate portions, in small amounts or from a shared tub. Then look at the recipe and nutritional information.
| Criteria | What to check | Who it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Separate pots or a shared tub | Pack of four pots or a 1 kg tub; storage instructions for the large tub after opening. | When several people are serving themselves at different times, I prefer to open only as much as I need; around 33% of consumers would make this pack format their priority. |
| Portion size | Weight per pot and total weight: 4 × 110 g is 440 g, compared with 600 g for 4 × 150 g. | For a small individual portion, I look at the grams per pot rather than just the number of pots; this size would be a priority for around 25% of consumers. |
| Plain recipe | Ingredients and fat per 100 g for the product you’re considering. | If I want to add my own fruit or make a savoury recipe, I start with plain yoghurt; around 25% of consumers would prioritise this option. |
| Fruit dessert | Ingredients list and sugars per 100 g for the flavoured version. | When I want a ready-to-serve fruit dessert, the recipe matters more than its versatility; this would be the main requirement for around 17% of consumers. |
The Danone plain yoghurt pack shown by Carrefour contains 4 × 110 g, or 440 g; the Carrefour Extra, Auchan and Delisse plain yoghurt packs of 4 × 150 g contain 600 g.
Check the weight of each pot and the total net weight to work out how many portions you’ll need for your meal.
E.Leclerc’s listings for Delisse yoghurts with mango and strawberry layers show added sugar. These recipes don’t offer the same flexibility when making a dessert or savoury dish.
Choose a plain yoghurt if you want to decide what to add yourself; otherwise, check the ingredients and sugars per 100 g for the fruit version.
A 1 kg tub is opened all at once, unlike four separate portions. The Ministry of the Economy reminds consumers that the use-by date printed on the packaging no longer applies in the same way after opening.
Before choosing the large size, check the manufacturer’s instructions for storing it after opening.
If your household can’t use it within the stated time, some of the yoghurt could go to waste.
Volume and weight aren’t interchangeable unless you know the product’s density. The Carrefour Extra and Carrefour Original products described here have net weights of 600 g and 1 kg.
To work out how much you need for your recipes, check the net weight and type of container shown on the product you’re considering.
Carrefour’s product listings let you compare a 4 × 150 g pack of Carrefour Extra plain yoghurt with a 1 kg tub of Carrefour Original plain yoghurt.
Auchan offers plain Greek-style yoghurt in a 4 × 150 g pack, which you can compare with other packs of the same size.
E.Leclerc’s listings include a 4 × 150 g pack of Delisse plain yoghurt, as well as versions with mango or strawberry layers.
The Danone plain yoghurt product shown by Carrefour contains four 110 g pots, or 440 g in total.
A 1 kg tub is a good fit if your household regularly uses Greek-style yoghurt in several desserts or recipes and can follow the storage instructions after opening. If you’re serving portions at different times, four separate pots mean you don’t have to open everything at once.
No. The Danone plain yoghurt pack shown by Carrefour contains 4 × 110 g, or 440 g, while the Carrefour Extra and Delisse plain yoghurt packs of 4 × 150 g total 600 g. Check the weight per pot and the total weight before planning your portions.
Not if you want to choose the ingredients you add yourself. According to E.Leclerc’s listings, the Delisse versions with mango and strawberry layers contain added sugar and have 11.1 g and 12.3 g of sugars per 100 g respectively; check the ingredients for the product you’re considering.
After opening, the use-by date printed on the packaging no longer applies in the same way: follow the manufacturer’s storage advice, as the Ministry of the Economy recommends. For a product labelled “use by”, don’t use it after that date if it’s still unopened.
