For a crêpe night, choose the number of pots to suit your guests: an 8 × 125 g selection gives you more portions than a 4 × 125 g pack, which is better suited to a smaller gathering or as an accompaniment. If organic certification matters to you, check for the Euro-leaf or AB logo on the specific product, then compare the fruit, sugars, allergens and storage instructions. Organic certification does not mean “no added sugar”.
If you’d like to serve organic fruit yoghurt with your crêpes, look for the Euro-leaf or AB logo on the product you choose. Then check the recipe: certification alone doesn’t tell you about the fruit, sugars or allergens.
To avoid opening more pots than you need, compare the 4 × 125 g and 8 × 125 g pack sizes. Flavours and texture matter too: decide whether you’d prefer pieces of fruit or blended fruit, depending on whether you’ll serve the yoghurt alongside the crêpes or use it as a topping.
If sugar or milk affects your choice, check the ingredients list, allergens and nutritional information for each product. Also check the use-by date and the recommended storage temperature.
First decide how many pots you’ll serve and whether organic certification is essential. Then compare the recipes in pack sizes that suit your gathering.
| Criteria | What to check | Who is this for? |
|---|---|---|
| Certification and ingredients | Euro-leaf or AB logo on the specific product; ingredients and allergens, particularly milk. | I want the yoghurt served with my crêpes to be certified organic, without assuming the label tells me everything about the recipe. Around 36% of consumers prioritise checking certification and ingredients. |
| Pack size and texture | Number of pots, 125 g per pot in the pack sizes listed, flavours and whether the fruit is in pieces or blended. | For a gathering, I want enough portions and a texture that suits the way I’m serving the crêpes. Pack size and texture come first for around 29% of consumers. |
| Storage and date | Use-by date, the temperature shown on the packaging and keeping the yoghurt chilled until serving. | If I buy the yoghurts before the evening, I need to be able to store them as directed until the meal. This is a priority for around 21% of consumers. |
| Sugars and fruit recipe | The “of which sugars” figure per 100 g and per portion, if shown on the packaging; whether sugar has been added and the proportion of fruit. | If I’m serving other sweet toppings with the crêpes, I’d rather compare the recipes than rely on the word “organic” alone. Around 14% of consumers put the recipe and sugar content first. |
The Carrefour Bio, Auchan Bio and Les 300 & Bio recipes mentioned here contain cane sugar. So organic certification doesn’t mean a product has no added sugar.
Check the ingredients and compare the “of which sugars” figure in the nutritional information, especially if you’re planning to serve other sweet toppings.
A 4 × 125 g pack and an 8 × 125 g selection don’t provide the same number of pots. Blended fruit and pieces of fruit also give the yoghurt different textures.
Work out how many pots you’ll need based on your guests and the role of the yoghurt in the meal, then choose the texture you prefer.
The use-by date and storage conditions need to suit the date of your crêpe night. The DGCCRF warns that a break in the cold chain makes the affected product unfit to eat.
Check the date on the pots you buy and keep them at the stated temperature during transport and until serving.
A range of fruit yoghurts with pieces of fruit isn’t necessarily organic. Yoplait describes its Panier range as containing pieces of fruit, but doesn’t present it as certified organic on the page in question.
Check the logos and the exact product description before choosing a yoghurt for its organic credentials.
The fruit yoghurt with pieces of fruit featured by Carrefour France comes in an 8 × 125 g pack.
The fruit yoghurt with pieces of fruit featured by Auchan France comes in an 8 × 125 g pack.
The blended-fruit stirred yoghurt featured by Carrefour France combines organic strawberry and raspberry in a 4 × 125 g pack.
Yoplait’s Panier range provides a comparison for fruit yoghurts with pieces of fruit, but isn’t presented here as an organic option.
Look for the Euro-leaf or AB logo on the specific product, then check its name and ingredients. The French Ministry of Agriculture says that organic production is covered by European regulations; however, the logo doesn’t replace checking the recipe.
Not necessarily. The Carrefour Bio product mentioned lists 8.5% cane sugar in its ingredients, and the Auchan Bio product also contains cane sugar. Check the ingredients list and the “of which sugars” figure for each product.
Yes, as long as the use-by date covers the date of your event and you can follow the storage instructions until serving. Check the pots you buy: the Auchan Bio product mentioned says to store it between 0 °C and +6 °C before opening, and the DGCCRF stresses the importance of maintaining the cold chain.
Compare the product name, ingredients, allergens, net quantity, nutritional information and the date shown for each product. The DGCCRF says that required information on pre-packed foods must be visible, legible and written in French at a minimum.
