To choose an organic fruit yoghurt in an individual pot, first check its certification, then compare the pot size and the exact recipe. The fruit content, whether added sugar is present and the sugars per 100 g answer different questions. The word ‘organic’ alone won’t help you choose between two flavours or pack sizes.
If you want to tell a certified organic product apart from packaging that simply suggests natural ingredients, look for the EU organic logo on the specific product. Agence Bio says that its presence on the label confirms compliance with the European regulation on organic farming.
For breakfast or a single-serving meal, the weight of each pot matters more than the number of pots in the pack. The Carrefour Bio and Auchan Bio products featured here come in 100 g or 125 g pots.
If ingredients influence your choice, check the fruit content, sugar in the ingredients list and sugars per 100 g separately. These details vary by recipe and pack size.
Start by checking the organic certification, then choose a pot size that suits your meal. Finally, compare the ingredients and nutritional information for the flavour you’re planning to buy.
| Criteria | What to check | Who is it for? |
|---|---|---|
| Organic certification | Look for the EU organic logo on the packaging or the product page for the exact product. | If I’m looking for an organic yoghurt for breakfast, I want to check its certification before comparing flavours. Around 44% of consumers would put this marker at the top of their list of concerns. |
| Pot size | Compare the weight per pot, particularly the 100 g or 125 g sizes mentioned here, and check the storage instructions. | I want a portion that’s the right size for me, so I don’t have to open a large pot for a single-serving meal. Pot size would be the priority for around 33% of consumers. |
| Fruit and sugars | Check the fruit content and ingredients, then compare the ‘sugars’ figure per 100 g. | If I’m choosing between two fruit recipes, I want to distinguish the amount of fruit, added sugar and total sugars. This would be the top priority for around 23% of consumers. |
Organic certification and the presence of added sugar are two separate things. Carrefour lists cane sugar in its organic fruit yoghurt recipe, and Auchan also lists it in its organic recipe with blended fruit.
Check the ingredients list to spot added sugar, then compare the ‘sugars’ figure per 100 g to see the nutritional values.
Eight 100 g pots and eight 125 g pots don’t give you the same amount per serving. The texture and fruit content can also vary from one recipe to another.
Check the weight of each pot and the ingredients for your chosen flavour rather than relying on the number of pots alone.
The Carrefour Bio and Auchan Bio dairy recipes mentioned here contain milk. Individual pots are also chilled products, so they should be stored according to the instructions for the specific product.
Read the allergens listed on the label, follow the storage instructions and check the use-by date.
The range includes organic fruit yoghurts in packs of eight 125 g pots. This is a size to consider if you prefer to open one pot per meal.
Auchan offers an organic recipe with fruit pieces in packs of eight 125 g pots, as well as a stirred yoghurt with blended fruit in packs of eight 100 g pots.
According to E.Leclerc, this Marque Repère range includes organic mixed fruit stirred yoghurts in packs of 12 125 g pots, and organic red fruit yoghurts in packs of eight 125 g pots.
Look for the EU organic logo on the label of the specific product. According to Agence Bio, its presence confirms compliance with the European regulation on organic farming. The AB mark may also appear; check the product name and ingredients too.
Not necessarily: Carrefour and Auchan list cane sugar in some of the organic fruit recipes mentioned here. Check the ingredients for your chosen flavour to spot added sugar, then compare the ‘sugars’ figure per 100 g to check the nutritional values.
The Carrefour Bio and Auchan Bio recipes mentioned here contain milk, so don’t treat them as milk-free products. Check the allergens on the label of each product before choosing it.
Follow the storage temperature and use-by date shown on the product you buy. The Auchan Bio product pages for both products mentioned here say to store them between 0 °C and +6 °C; check the instructions on your own multipack.
