Who are these formats suitable for?

Anyone looking for ready-to-serve portions

Individual pots are handy if you want to serve yoghurt in the park without opening a large tub. You’ll still need to keep it chilled during transport.

Groups sharing plain Greek yoghurt

A large tub can be shared between several people if you bring spoons and containers, and make sure it stays chilled.

Anyone open to a different type of product

If it doesn’t have to be called “Greek yoghurt”, you could also consider skyr or a high-protein dairy product. Compare their nutritional information and ingredients.

What should you check before your picnic?

First, choose a format that suits how you plan to serve it. Then check the product description, ingredients and storage instructions for the specific product.

What to consider What to check Who is it for?
Format and serving Check the number of pots and the quantity in each one. If you choose a large tub, bring what you need to serve everyone. If I want to hand out yoghurt in the park without decanting it, I prefer individual pots that are ready to open. Around 42% of consumers would prioritise this serving convenience.
Fat content and ingredients Check the fat and sugar per 100 g, then read the ingredients list, especially for flavoured varieties. I’m looking for a 0% option but want to choose what I add to the yoghurt myself; around 33% of consumers would prioritise this.
Product type and protein Compare the product description, protein per 100 g or per serving, and any sweeteners. If it doesn’t have to be Greek yoghurt, I could consider skyr or another high-protein dairy product. Around 25% of consumers would prioritise this option.

Common mix-ups to avoid

  • Assuming “0%” describes the whole recipe

    Here, the claim refers to fat, not all the ingredients. Carrefour says that DELTA Lemon Meringue 0% contains a lemon preparation whose ingredients include sugar.

    If you want to choose your own toppings, start with a plain variety and read the label before deciding what to add.

  • Choosing a tub without planning how to keep it chilled

    The DGCCRF points out that rising temperatures encourage the growth of microbes. So, a format that’s easy to serve doesn’t mean you can ignore the product’s storage instructions.

    Buy chilled products last and transport them in a cool box or insulated bag with suitable ice packs.

  • Confusing skyr with Greek yoghurt

    These products may have similar nutritional qualities, but they aren’t the same type of product and their recipes differ.

    If you specifically want Greek yoghurt, check the product description on the packaging. Otherwise, compare skyr and other dairy products as distinct alternatives.

Brands and retailers to consider

DELTA

DELTA offers plain 0% Greek yoghurt in two 150 g pots, listed by Auchan, as well as a 1 kg tub listed by Carrefour.

  • According to Auchan’s product listing, the 2 x 150 g format contains 0 g of fat and 9.6 g of protein per 100 g.
  • For this specific format, Auchan recommends storage between 2 °C and 6 °C, so both pots need to stay chilled during the journey.

FAGE

Auchan describes FAGE Total 0% as Greek-style strained yoghurt in a 950 g tub.

  • Auchan’s product listing states that it contains 0 g of fat and 10.3 g of protein per 100 g. The ingredients list includes skimmed milk and cultures.
  • You’ll need serving utensils to share the tub. Auchan recommends storing it at a maximum of 7 °C.

Yoplait

Yoplait Skyr Nature is worth considering if you don’t specifically need Greek yoghurt.

  • Yoplait states that this product contains less than 0.5 g of fat and 9.3 g of protein per 100 g.
  • It’s labelled as “skyr”, so check that it’s the product you want to take with you.

Danone

Danone describes HiPRO Lemon as a high-protein dairy product in a pot, which should be considered separately from Greek yoghurt.

  • According to HiPRO, a 160 g pot contains 15 g of protein and is labelled as containing 0% fat.
  • The ingredients list includes sweeteners. The product should not be confused with Greek yoghurt.

Carrefour

Carrefour is a retailer where you can compare the options listed, including the 1 kg tub of DELTA Greek-style Yoghurt 0% Fat.

  • The listing for the 1 kg DELTA tub lets you check out a large format that could work well for sharing.
  • Before you set off, check the exact product, its use-by date and its storage instructions at your local store.

Frequently asked questions

Can I take 0% Greek yoghurt to the park for several hours?

Yes, as long as you keep it at the storage temperature shown on the packaging during transport and while you’re there. The DGCCRF points out that rising temperatures encourage the growth of microbes. Use a cool box or insulated bag with ice packs, and don’t leave the pots out of the fridge for long.

What temperature should I keep these yoghurts at?

Follow the instructions for the product you’ve bought, as they vary. Auchan recommends storing DELTA 0% Greek Yoghurt in 2 x 150 g pots between 2 °C and 6 °C, while FAGE Total 0% in a 950 g tub should be kept at a maximum of 7 °C.

Can skyr replace 0% Greek yoghurt?

You can choose skyr if its product description and ingredients suit you, but it isn’t the same product as Greek yoghurt. Compare the nutritional information and ingredients of the specific products rather than assuming they’re equivalent.

Does a 0% flavoured variety also have no added sugar?

No. The 0% fat claim doesn’t tell you whether sugar has been added. Carrefour says that DELTA Lemon Meringue 0% contains a lemon preparation with sugar, so check the ingredients and sugar content on the packaging of the variety you choose.
