Who is this guide for?

Anyone making crêpes to share

If you’re serving chilled yoghurts with crêpes that are already cooked, check the organic certification, fruit content and number of pots before choosing your flavours.

Anyone who pays attention to ingredients

The words ‘with fruit’ aren’t enough to compare two recipes. Read their ingredients lists and nutritional information per 100 g, particularly the ‘of which sugars’ line.

Families choosing by texture and pack size

Stirred yoghurt, blended fruit and fruit pieces each make for a slightly different serving experience. Also check the pack size, listed allergens and chilled storage instructions.

What should you look for?

For crêpes that are already cooked for Candlemas, start with organic certification if it’s essential to you. Then compare the recipes and textures, and choose a number of pots that suits your gathering and storage space.

Criteria	What to check	Who is it for?
Organic certification	Look for the Euro-leaf or AB logo on the specific product, then check the flavour and ingredients list.	If organic certification is my top priority for topping crêpes, I want to be able to identify it on the pots I buy. Around 36% of consumers would put this check first.
Fruit and sugars	Compare the proportion of fruit and cane sugar in the ingredients, then check the ‘of which sugars’ line per 100 g in the nutritional information.	When choosing a fruity topping, I’d rather read the recipe than rely on the flavour name alone. This would be the deciding factor for around 29% of consumers.
Texture	Choose between blended fruit and fruit pieces, depending on whether you want to spread the yoghurt or spoon it on top.	For a crêpe that’s already cooked, I want a texture that suits how I plan to serve it. Texture would be the top priority for around 21% of consumers.
Pack size and freshness	Check the number of pots, allergens, date label and storage instructions on the packaging.	When I’m making crêpes for several people, I want enough pots without having too many left in the fridge for too long. Around 14% of consumers would prioritise pack size and freshness.

Mistakes to avoid

Confusing ‘with fruit’ with ‘organic’

A fruity flavour, a claim about natural flavourings or French milk alone doesn’t tell you whether a product is certified organic. The Frulos range presented by Yoplait doesn’t, on its own, confirm that it meets organic criteria.

If organic certification matters to you, look for the Euro-leaf or AB logo on the packaging of the specific product before comparing flavours.
Comparing yoghurts by name rather than recipe

According to their respective product listings, Auchan Bio fruit yoghurt with pieces contains 10% fruit and 7.9% cane sugar in its ingredients, while Les 2 Vaches Raspberry contains 7.1% organic raspberries and 6.9% organic cane sugar. These ingredient proportions don’t replace comparing the ‘of which sugars’ line in the nutritional information.

Read the ingredient proportions and nutritional information per 100 g for the flavour you plan to buy.
Buying a large multipack without planning how to store it

Leftover pots need space in the fridge, and you should check their date. Anses recommends maintaining the cold chain and says that products carrying a use-by date must not be eaten after that date.

Choose a number of pots that suits your guests, pick up chilled yoghurts at the end of your shop and put them in the fridge as soon as you can. Follow the instructions on the packaging you buy.
Assuming a product you’ve spotted online is available in store

E.Leclerc’s listing for Bio Village red fruit yoghurts advises customers to contact the relevant store or Drive service to obtain the product.

Check that the specific product is available at the store where you plan to buy it before making the trip.

Fruit yoghurt brands to consider

These ranges give you recipes and pack sizes to compare. If organic certification is important, always check the exact product.

Danone — Les 2 Vaches

The range includes organic fruit yoghurts, including a Raspberry recipe for anyone looking to serve a specific flavour with their crêpes.

According to the Les 2 Vaches product listing, the Raspberry version contains 7.1% organic raspberries and 6.9% organic cane sugar, and comes in a pack of 4 x 115 g pots.
These proportions apply to the Raspberry recipe. Check the label if you choose another flavour.

Carrefour Bio

The fruit yoghurt with pieces comes in a pack of 8 x 125 g pots, making it worth considering for a table with several guests.

Carrefour’s listing for this product shows 10% fruit and 8.5% cane sugar in the ingredients.
Carrefour also offers other organic fruit recipes, so check that the proportions you’re comparing match the product you’ve chosen.

Auchan Bio

The fruit yoghurt with pieces comes in a pack of 8 x 125 g pots, ready to serve as individual portions.

Auchan’s listing shows 10% fruit and 7.9% cane sugar in the ingredients, and displays the Euro-leaf and AB logos.
The stated storage temperature for this product is between 0 °C and +6 °C. Follow the label on the pack you buy.

E.Leclerc — Bio Village

The organic stirred yoghurt with red fruit comes in a pack of 8 x 125 g pots, for anyone who prefers this fruit blend.

According to E.Leclerc’s listing, this recipe contains 8% fruit and 7.3% cane sugar in the ingredients.
To get this product, contact the relevant E.Leclerc store or Drive service.

Yoplait

The brand’s fruit yoghurts can be used to compare different recipes if organic certification isn’t your top priority.

Yoplait’s Frulos page features a fruit-flavoured yoghurt.
This information doesn’t confirm organic certification for the Frulos product in question. If you’re looking for organic yoghurt, check the certification logos on the product you’re considering.

Nestlé — La Laitière

La Laitière’s range includes fruit yoghurts.

A La Laitière announcement published in 2018 also mentioned an organic range.
This historical announcement isn’t enough to identify a specific organic fruit yoghurt today. Check the product and its packaging before buying.

Frequently asked questions

How can you tell if a fruit yoghurt is organic?

Look for the Euro-leaf or, where applicable, the AB logo on the packaging of the product you’ve chosen. The Ministry of Agriculture explains that organic farming is governed by a European framework; the words ‘with fruit’ alone don’t indicate organic certification.

Can you add organic fruit yoghurt to crêpe batter?

You can try mixing in a small amount, but don’t assume it will replace an ingredient in your recipe in exactly the same way. The fruit, sugar and texture of the yoghurt may change the batter. Serving it chilled with crêpes that are already cooked avoids changing how they’re made.

Do the fruit yoghurt products mentioned contain milk?

The Carrefour Bio, Auchan Bio and Les 2 Vaches products mentioned here list milk or dairy ingredients. If this allergen is relevant to you, check the ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging of the specific product.

How should you store yoghurts after shopping?

Transport chilled yoghurts promptly and put them in the fridge, following the temperature shown on their packaging. Anses recommends keeping food at 4 °C in the coldest part of the fridge. If the product has a use-by date, don’t eat it after that date.
