Who is this option for?

People keeping an eye on fat

You compare the fat content per 100 g rather than relying on the words ‘Greek-style’ alone. Carrefour’s listings for Delta 0% and Danone plain Greek-style yoghurt show why it’s important to check the specific product.

Large households that regularly eat plain yoghurt

A family-size tub can help you avoid repeated trips to the shops, as long as you can finish it within the stated time after opening. Carrefour and Auchan list options in 950 g and 1 kg tubs.

People comparing texture and ingredients

You want to compare 0% Greek yoghurt, classic Greek-style yoghurt and skyr without confusing the categories. The ingredients and nutritional information for each product can help you weigh up the options.

What should you look for?

Start by checking the fat content per 100 g, then choose a size that suits your household’s consumption and the storage guidance after opening. You can then compare texture and other nutritional information to find the right option.

What to consider What to check Who it’s for
Fat content Compare the ‘fat’ figure per 100 g and the ingredients list. Carrefour states that Delta 0% contains 0 g per 100 g, compared with 7 g per 100 g for Danone plain Greek-style yoghurt. If my main aim is to limit fat, I want a figure that relates to the product I’m buying. Around 46% of consumers would put this check first.
Size and storage Check the net quantity, type of packaging and guidance for after opening. Carrefour lists Delta 0% in a 1 kg tub; Auchan lists Fage 0% in a 950 g tub. In a household that eats yoghurt often, I’m looking for a large tub that we can finish within the stated storage guidance. Size would be the priority for around 36% of consumers.
Texture and ingredients Distinguish between Greek yoghurt, Greek-style yoghurt, skyr and high-protein dairy desserts; then compare the ingredients, sugars and protein in the specific product. If I’m choosing between several categories, I want a texture I enjoy without overlooking the ingredients. Around 18% of consumers would prioritise this balance.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming ‘Greek-style’ means low-fat

    Recipes vary: Carrefour states that Danone plain Greek-style yoghurt contains 7 g of fat per 100 g, while Delta 0% contains 0 g per 100 g.

    Compare the nutritional information and ingredients for the exact product before choosing based on the brand or texture.

  • Relying on a ‘0%’ claim without checking the table

    The Yoplait Panier 0% page displays a ‘0%’ claim, even though its table states 3.8 g of fat per 100 g.

    If the product description and nutritional information don’t match, check the label on the product or ask the manufacturer or retailer to clarify.

  • Choosing a large tub without planning how you’ll use it

    Family-size packaging doesn’t, by itself, extend how long yoghurt keeps after opening.

    Before choosing a 950 g or 1 kg tub, check the storage temperature and the time limit for eating it after opening on the packaging.

  • Assuming a 3-litre bottle is the same as a large tub

    The large-size options listed by Carrefour and Auchan are tubs, including 950 g and 1 kg sizes. Their packaging doesn’t tell you anything about the characteristics of a 3-litre bottle.

    If that exact size matters to you, check the product name, net quantity and nutritional information on the listing for the product you’re considering.

Brands and retailers to consider

Delta

Carrefour offers a 1 kg tub of 0% Greek-style yoghurt; Auchan also lists a 2 × 150 g pack.

  • Carrefour states that the 1 kg tub of Delta 0% contains 0 g of fat per 100 g.
  • This information applies to the products listed, not every Delta product.

Fage

The Fage Total 0% products listed include a 500 g tub at Carrefour and a 950 g tub at Auchan.

  • Carrefour states that its 500 g tub of Fage Total 0% contains 0 g of fat per 100 g.
  • Check the size and nutritional information for the product stocked by your shop.

Danone

The Danone plain Greek-style yoghurt listed by Carrefour is a different product from HiPRO protein dairy desserts.

  • Carrefour’s product listing identifies cream as an ingredient in its plain Greek-style yoghurt.
  • This product contains 7 g of fat per 100 g, so its name alone doesn’t make it a 0% yoghurt option.

Yoplait

The 0% Yoplait skyrs listed by Carrefour are worth considering if you’re not looking exclusively for Greek yoghurt.

  • The skyr category gives you other products carrying a 0% claim to compare.
  • The Yoplait Panier 0% page gives conflicting information about fat content, so check the label on the exact product.

Carrefour

The retailer stocks Greek-style yoghurts in family-size tubs, including Delta 0% in a 1 kg size.

  • The listings for these products let you compare size and fat content per 100 g.
  • Check the range at your chosen shop or collection point before relying on a specific product being available.

Auchan

The retailer lists Fage 0% in a 950 g tub and Auchan plain Greek yoghurt in a 1 kg tub, among other products.

  • Both sizes are close to 1 kg, making them useful options to compare.
  • The size doesn’t tell you how much fat the yoghurt contains: check the nutritional information for each recipe.

Frequently asked questions

What does ‘fat-free’ mean on yoghurt sold in France?

Under Regulation (EC) No 1924/2006, published on EUR-Lex, this claim—or one with the same meaning—is only permitted when a product contains no more than 0.5 g of fat per 100 g or 100 ml. Also check the nutritional information for the product you’re buying.

Is Greek-style yoghurt always low-fat?

No. ‘Greek-style’ doesn’t tell you the fat content on its own. Carrefour states that Danone plain Greek-style yoghurt contains 7 g per 100 g, compared with 0 g per 100 g for the Delta 0% product mentioned here. Compare the specific products.

How should you store a large tub after opening?

Follow the storage temperature and the time limit after opening shown on the packaging. The French Ministry of the Economy reminds shoppers that the use-by date printed on the pack is no longer enough to determine how long a product keeps once it has been opened.

How can you spot milk in the ingredients list?

Check the ingredients and the allergens highlighted on the packaging of the product you choose. The DGCCRF states that allergenic ingredients in prepacked foods must be emphasised in the ingredients list.
