Which format is right for you?

Families serving yoghurt to share

If you regularly serve it at breakfast, for dessert or in recipes, a 1 kg tub lets you take out as much as you need. Check that your household can finish it within the recommended time after opening.

Households that prefer ready-to-serve portions

Individual pots can make serving easier when household members eat at different times. The products we looked at include multipacks of six or eight pots.

Shoppers who pay close attention to ingredients

If ingredients or nutritional values influence your choice, compare the labels on the products you’re considering rather than relying on the words ‘Greek’ or ‘Greek-style’ alone.

What should you look for?

Start with how often your household eats yoghurt to choose the right pack size, then compare how you plan to use it and the information on each pack.

What to consider What to check Who is it for?
Sharing tub The net weight and how soon it should be eaten after opening. I often serve yoghurt to several people and want to finish the tub once it’s been opened. Around 31% of consumers are thought to prioritise sharing in this way.
Individual portions The number of pots and the quantity in each one. Everyone at home has yoghurt at a different time, so ready-to-serve portions matter more than taking it from a large tub. This is thought to be the main priority for around 31% of consumers.
Cooking A plain recipe and enough yoghurt for the dishes you plan to make. I want to be able to use plain yoghurt in sauces, desserts or sharing bowls. Around 23% of consumers are thought to prioritise using it in cooking.
Ingredients The ingredients list, allergens and nutritional values per 100 g. I need to check the ingredients for each product before choosing one for my household, including whether it contains milk and how much fat it has. Around 15% of consumers are thought to prioritise checking the label.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Buying 1 kg without planning when you’ll finish it

    A large tub may not be the best choice if your household won’t eat it quickly enough after opening. The product information for Auchan 1 kg plain Greek yoghurt says to consume it within four days of opening.

    Before choosing this size, check the time limit for the specific product and estimate how much your household will eat during that period.

  • Assuming all Greek yoghurts have the same recipe

    Ingredients and nutritional values vary between products. For example, Auchan’s product information for its 1 kg plain yoghurt lists 10 g of fat per 100 g.

    Compare the ingredients lists and nutritional information per 100 g for the products you’re interested in.

  • Planning your shop around a product without checking your chosen store

    A product listing doesn’t guarantee that the product will be available at your store or for your chosen collection option.

    Check local availability before planning how much your household will need.
