Who are these formats for?

Teams serving individual portions

If desserts are handed directly to diners, individual pots make it easy to serve a set portion in its own packaging. Check the weight of each pot and the number of units per pack.

Teams serving or cooking on site

A 1 kg tub may be suitable for serving by the spoonful or for preparing cold dishes. You’ll need to organise service, keep the product information to hand and follow the storage instructions after opening.

Buyers comparing recipes

To choose between a 0% product and a recipe with a higher fat content, compare the nutritional information per 100 g, as well as the ingredients of each specific product.

What should you check?

Decide how you’ll serve the yoghurt before comparing recipes, then check the storage and after-opening instructions for the product you choose.

Criterion What to check Consumers concerned
Storage and allergens Specified temperature, instructions after opening and allergen information at the serving point. If the yoghurt is transferred to another container, I want to keep it chilled and be able to identify its ingredients at the point of service. This would be the main priority for around 31% of consumers.
Service and portions The actual weight of individual pots or how portions will be served from a 1 kg tub. When diners need to serve themselves quickly, I’d rather offer a set portion than serve yoghurt by the spoonful. This would be a priority for around 31% of consumers.
Recipe and nutritional values Fat, saturated fatty acids, protein and sugars per 100 g. I need to choose between different recipes without relying on the product name alone. Around 23% of consumers would put this comparison first.
Size and packaging The amount served each day and the stated shelf life after opening. If the number of portions varies, I look for a format that can be used up within the product’s stated time limit. This need would come first for around 15% of consumers.

Things to watch out for

  • Assuming all Greek yoghurts have the same nutritional profile

    Auchan’s product pages state that, per 100 g, DELTA 0% contains 0 g of fat and 9.6 g of protein, while LYNOS 10% contains 10 g of fat and 6 g of protein. These figures apply to these two products, not the entire category.

    Compare the nutritional values per 100 g for each product you’re considering, particularly fat, protein and sugars.

  • Opening a large tub without planning how to use it

    Auchan’s product page for LYNOS 1 kg says to consume the product within three days of opening. If the contents aren’t served within that time, some may go to waste.

    Estimate the amount served each day and check the after-opening instructions for the product you order.

  • Losing product information when removing the packaging

    When yoghurt is served by the spoonful, its label is no longer immediately available to diners. You’ll still need to manage storage and provide allergen information for this type of service.

    Keep the batch information accessible to your team and check how to share it with diners when the product is served without individual packaging.

  • Ordering based only on a product page title

    The title on Carrefour’s product page for the Danone multipack says it contains 8 pots of 150 g, but the description also mentions 8 pots of 110 g.

    Check the weight on the packaging or the product page for the item actually delivered before working out the number of portions.

Brands to consider for these formats

Danone

Carrefour lists Danone plain Greek-style yoghurt in a pack of individual pots.

  • Carrefour’s product page lists a recipe made with skimmed milk, cream and lactic cultures.
  • The title and description give two different pot weights, so check the weight of the pack delivered.

Carrefour Extra

Carrefour lists plain Carrefour Extra Greek-style yoghurt in packs of 4 × 150 g and 8 × 125 g.

  • These two pack sizes let you compare individual portions of different weights.
  • For canteen supplies, confirm the specifications and ordering conditions for the product you choose.

DELISSE (E.Leclerc / Marque Repère)

E.Leclerc lists plain DELISSE Greek-style yoghurt in 4 × 150 g and 8 × 125 g packs, as well as 450 g and 1 kg formats.

  • The listed pack sizes could suit either individual servings or portioning on site.
  • Check the product page or packaging for the ingredients, nutritional values and storage instructions of the product you choose.

Auchan

Auchan lists plain Greek yoghurt in a 1 kg tub.

  • This format may be suitable for serving portions on site or for preparing dishes.
  • Check the ingredients and product information for the item you order with the store supplying it.

DELTA

  • Its product page states that it contains 0 g of fat and 9.6 g of protein per 100 g.

Frequently asked questions

What temperature should Greek yoghurt be stored at in a canteen?

Follow the storage temperature stated for the product you’ve bought. Auchan’s product pages for DELTA 0% and LYNOS 10% Greek yoghurt both state that they should be stored between 2 °C and 6 °C. The DGCCRF notes that a rise in temperature speeds up microbial growth and shortens the shelf life of a food product.

How should you tell diners about allergens if yoghurt is served by the spoonful?

Information about allergens must remain accessible when yoghurt is served without its individual packaging. In France, the decree of 17 April 2015, published on Légifrance, sets out requirements for providing information about non-prepacked foods. Keep the batch information to hand and check what arrangements apply to your service.

Is the ‘0%’ label enough to compare two Greek yoghurts?

No. Compare the nutritional values and ingredients of the specific products. According to their Auchan product pages, DELTA 0% contains 0 g of fat and 9.6 g of protein per 100 g, while LYNOS 10% contains 10 g of fat and 6 g of protein per 100 g. These figures don’t represent all Greek yoghurts.

How long can you use a 1 kg tub after opening?

Follow the instructions for the product you’ve bought rather than applying the guidance for a different product. Auchan’s product page for LYNOS 1 kg says to consume it within three days of opening. For any other tub, check its packaging or product page.
