Who are these options for?

Those looking for plain 0% Greek yoghurt

You’re looking for strained Greek yoghurt to enjoy at breakfast or use in cooking, and want to check its fat content rather than relying on the word ‘Greek’ alone.

Those comparing protein content

You’re checking the protein content of a 0%-fat dairy snack and are happy to compare Greek yoghurt with skyr or a high-protein dairy product, without confusing them.

Those putting together their first basket

You’re deciding between a large tub and individual portions. How much you’ll eat, how much fridge space you have and the ingredients in each recipe can all help you make your first choice.

What should you look at first?

For your first shop, check that the product name and fat content match what you’re looking for. Then compare the nutritional values on the same basis and choose a pack size you can store and get through.

Criteria What to check Who is it for?
0% Greek yoghurt Check the product name and the ‘fat’ line per 100 g for the exact product. E.Leclerc lists its DELISSE plain Greek yoghurt as containing 10% fat, compared with 0% for the FAGE and DELTA products mentioned by Auchan. If I want a lighter plain Greek yoghurt, I need to be able to tell it apart from a standard Greek yoghurt. Around 40% of relevant consumers would put this distinction at the top of their needs.
Protein and recipe Compare protein per 100 g, then check the ingredients and sugars in each variety. Don’t compare values per portion with values per 100 g. For a dairy snack, I want to compare protein without assuming that skyr, high-protein dairy products and Greek yoghurt are made the same way. This would be a priority for around 30% of consumers.
Pack size and storage Choose between individual portions and a large tub based on how much you’ll eat, then follow the use-by date and refrigeration instructions on the packaging. For my first basket, I’d prefer a pack size I can finish and keep chilled as directed. Around 30% of consumers would prioritise this convenience.

Common mix-ups to avoid

  • Assuming ‘0%’ means ‘no added sugar’

    A flavoured recipe made with 0% strained yoghurt may contain a sweetened preparation. Carrefour’s product listing for DELTA lemon meringue says it contains a lemon preparation with sugar.

    To compare a flavoured variety with a plain one, check the ingredients and the ‘of which sugars’ line, as well as the fat content.

  • Treating skyr, high-protein dairy products and Greek yoghurt as the same thing

    These product names don’t necessarily refer to the same recipe. Compare their ingredients and nutritional values product by product.

    If you specifically want strained Greek yoghurt, start with the product name. Otherwise, check the ingredients and nutritional information for other categories too.

  • Buying a large tub without planning how to store it

    The 950 g and 1 kg sizes provide several portions, but each product should be stored according to its own instructions.

    Before choosing a pack size, think about how much you’ll eat and how much room you have in the fridge. Then check the date and the storage instructions on the packaging.

Brands and retailers to know

FAGE

FAGE Total 0% is a plain strained Greek yoghurt available in a 950 g tub, as listed by Auchan.

  • Auchan’s product listing states that it contains 0 g of fat and 10.3 g of protein per 100 g. The listed ingredients are skimmed milk and cultures.
  • The 950 g size is best suited to those who can keep the tub chilled and use several portions. Follow the storage instructions on the packaging.

DELTA

The plain 0% Greek yoghurt products from DELTA mentioned by Auchan include 2 × 150 g portions and a 1 kg tub.

  • Auchan’s listing for the 1 kg plain tub states that it contains 0 g of fat and 9.6 g of protein per 100 g.
  • A flavoured variety won’t necessarily have the same ingredients as the plain version. Carrefour’s listing for the lemon meringue variety mentions a preparation containing sugar.

Danone

HiPRO Nature is a high-protein dairy product worth comparing if it doesn’t have to be Greek yoghurt.

  • Danone states that HiPRO Nature contains 15 g of protein per 160 g portion and 0% fat.
  • These figures apply to HiPRO Nature, not every HiPRO recipe. Check the ingredients of the variety you choose.

Yoplait

Yoplait skyr is another option if you’re looking for a thick texture but don’t specifically need Greek yoghurt.

  • Yoplait says its skyr is made with skimmed milk and contains between 7.8 and 9.3 g of protein per 100 g, depending on the range.
  • Nutritional values and ingredients vary by recipe, so check the label before choosing a variety.

E.Leclerc / DELISSE

E.Leclerc’s 1 kg tub of DELISSE plain Greek yoghurt provides a useful comparison with 0% recipes.

  • Its product listing states that it contains 10% fat, a useful reminder that ‘Greek’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘low-fat’.
  • This product isn’t suitable if you’re specifically looking for 0%-fat Greek yoghurt.

Carrefour

Carrefour’s range makes it easy to compare 0% yoghurts, skyr and Greek yoghurt products.

  • The product listings let you compare their names, ingredients and nutritional information.
  • A flavoured product and a plain one may have different ingredients, even if both are labelled ‘0%’.

Frequently asked questions

Is Greek yoghurt automatically low in fat?

No. E.Leclerc’s listing for DELISSE plain Greek yoghurt states that it contains 10% fat, while the FAGE and DELTA 0% products mentioned by Auchan list 0 g or 0% fat. Check the nutritional table for the exact product.

Does ‘0%’ mean there’s no added sugar?

No. Carrefour’s listing for DELTA lemon meringue describes a 0% strained yoghurt base with a lemon preparation containing sugar. Check the ingredients list and the ‘of which sugars’ line for the variety you choose.

Can I choose skyr instead of 0% Greek yoghurt?

Yes, if you’re happy to choose a different type of dairy product and are looking for a thick texture, for example. If you specifically want strained Greek yoghurt, check the product name. Yoplait describes its skyr as a separate recipe, with nutritional values that vary across the range.

How should I choose between individual portions and a large tub for my first shop?

Choose a pack size that suits how much you’ll eat and your ability to keep the product in the fridge. The DELTA products mentioned by Auchan include 2 × 150 g portions and a 1 kg tub. Follow the date and storage instructions on the product you buy.
