Who is this choice for?

Adults keeping an eye on fat

You’re looking for the texture of strained Greek yoghurt and checking that your chosen recipe contains 0 g of fat per 100 g, like the FAGE Total 0% and Delta 0% products listed by Auchan.

Parents who want to customise a plain option

You’d rather choose the yoghurt and any toppings separately than rely on the taste of a flavoured recipe alone. Your child’s age is also worth considering.

Shoppers comparing protein content too

You’re looking at protein as well as fat. Compare values per 100 g: strained Greek yoghurt, skyr and other high-protein dairy products aren’t necessarily the same recipe or sold in the same format.

What should you compare?

Start with the fat content per 100 g, then compare plain and flavoured options with skyr, taking the taste you’re looking for and the ingredients into account. The words “Greek” and “skyr” don’t replace checking the label on the product you choose.

Criteria What to check Who it matters to
Fat Compare the “fat” figure per 100 g: Auchan’s listings for FAGE Total 0% and Delta 0% both show 0 g. If I’m looking for Greek yoghurt as part of a low-fat diet, I want to see the figure for the recipe I’m buying. Around 50% of shoppers in this group would put this criterion first.
Taste and sugars For a flavoured recipe, compare the ingredients and “of which sugars” figure with those of a plain version. According to Anses, lactose is one of the sugars naturally present in dairy products. For a child, I might prefer a plain base so I can choose what to add, or compare a flavoured recipe carefully. Around 30% of shoppers in this group would prioritise a sweet taste.
Protein Compare values on the same 100 g basis, then check how much is in each pot. Auchan’s listings show 10.3 g per 100 g for FAGE Total 0% and 9.6 g for Delta 0%. If protein also matters to my choice, I want to be able to compare recipes even when they come in different formats. Around 20% of shoppers in this group would put this criterion first.

Common misconceptions to avoid

  • Assuming all “Greek” yoghurt is 0% fat

    The category name alone doesn’t tell you the fat content of each recipe.

    If this is a priority when you shop, check the figure per 100 g on the packaging of the specific product.

  • Confusing no added sugars with no sugars

    According to Anses, milk naturally contains lactose. A plain recipe can therefore contain sugars; Auchan’s listing for FAGE Total 0% shows 3 g of sugars per 100 g.

    Check the ingredients, the “of which sugars” figure and anything you plan to add to the yoghurt.

  • Assuming the figures for one product apply to every flavour

    The figures for a plain version don’t necessarily describe a flavoured recipe in the same range.

    Compare the nutrition information and ingredients for both recipes per 100 g, rather than relying on their product names alone.

  • Overlooking your child’s age and the presence of milk

    The FAGE Total 0% and Delta 0% products listed by Auchan contain milk. The words “0%” alone aren’t enough to determine whether a food is suitable for an infant.

    Check the ingredients if your child has a milk allergy, and take their age into account before choosing a dairy product.

Brands to know

FAGE

The FAGE Total 0% product listed by Auchan is plain strained Greek yoghurt.

  • Its listing shows 0 g of fat, 10.3 g of protein and 3 g of sugars per 100 g.
  • It’s a plain recipe, so any additions you make for a different flavour should be considered separately.

Delta

The Delta 0% product listed by Auchan gives you another plain Greek yoghurt to compare.

  • Its listing shows 0 g of fat, 9.6 g of protein and 3.8 g of sugars per 100 g.
  • These figures apply to this specific product, so check the listing for any other format or recipe.

Yoplait

Yoplait offers a range of skyr, which is different from strained Greek yoghurt.

  • Yoplait says its skyr is made from skimmed milk and is low in fat.
  • For a fruit or flavoured recipe, check the sugars and ingredients for that specific product.

Danone / HiPRO

HiPRO is another range of high-protein dairy products, not a range of strained Greek yoghurt.

  • HiPRO states that its products contain 0% fat; the brand also lists 15 g of protein for some 160 g pots.
  • Compare the specific recipe and format with the Greek yoghurt you’re considering, particularly if you’re choosing a flavoured option.

Carrefour

Carrefour’s range includes skyr and 0% Greek yoghurt, making it useful for identifying these as separate categories.

  • Carrefour includes products such as Yoplait skyr and Delta 0% Greek yoghurt.
  • The fact that a category is stocked doesn’t tell you the ingredients of each recipe, so check the label.

Frequently asked questions

How should I compare two Greek yoghurts if I’m keeping an eye on fat?

Compare their nutrition information per 100 g, starting with fat, then check the sugars and protein if those matter to you too. Using the same basis makes it easy to compare pots of different sizes. The DGCCRF specifies that the nutrition declaration for pre-packed foods is given per 100 g or 100 ml.

Is 0% Greek yoghurt sugar-free?

No: “0%” refers to fat here, not sugars. Anses points out that lactose is naturally present in dairy products; Auchan’s listing for FAGE Total 0% shows 3 g of sugars per 100 g. For a flavoured version, check the ingredients too.

Can 0% Greek yoghurt replace an infant’s milk-based diet?

No. The words “0%” don’t make Greek yoghurt a substitute for milk-based nutrition suitable for infants. Anses recognises that nutritional needs vary with age and recommends choosing growing-up milk rather than cow’s milk after the age of one.

Is 0% Greek yoghurt suitable for someone with a milk protein allergy?

Not the FAGE Total 0% and Delta 0% products listed by Auchan: their ingredients include milk. If you have a milk protein allergy, check the ingredients and allergen information on the packaging of the product you buy.
