Who are these pack sizes for?

Families serving individual portions

If everyone has breakfast at a different time, separate pots of plain yoghurt can make serving easier. Check the organic certification and ingredients of the multipack you choose.

Families who also use yoghurt in cooking

A 400 g or 1 kg tub can be used for breakfast bowls and recipes. Choose a quantity that suits your eating habits and the use-by date.

Families comparing recipes

The type of milk and fat content can help you choose between products. Among the products listed by Carrefour and Auchan, stated fat contents range from 2% to 10%, depending on the recipe. Always check the nutrition information for the product you choose.

What should you compare?

Criteria What to check Who it matters to
Organic status Look for the EU organic logo or the AB logo on the specific product, then read its ingredients list. I want to confirm that the yoghurt is organic before comparing recipes; around 25% of consumers put this check first.
Quantity and pack size Compare the total weight of multipacks and large tubs, as well as the use-by date. For bowls and family meals, I’m looking for a quantity we can use in time. Pack size is the main consideration for around 31% of consumers.
Recipe and fat content Compare the fat and saturated fat per 100 g in the nutrition information. I want to choose between a recipe with 2% fat and one with a higher fat content, depending on our preferences; around 25% of consumers prioritise this distinction.
Type of milk Check which type of milk is used and read the allergen declaration for the product you choose. If my household prefers either cow’s or sheep’s milk, I need to check the exact recipe; around 19% of consumers prioritise the type of milk and allergens.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Assuming “Greek-style” means “organic”

    “Greek-style” describes a type of product, not its organic certification. Similar-looking packaging on the shelf isn’t enough to confirm a product’s status.

    Check the organic logos and labelling on the pot or multipack you’re buying.

  • Choosing the largest pack without planning how you’ll use it

    A large tub is only practical if you can use the amount for your planned breakfasts and recipes before the use-by date.

    Compare the total weight of different pack sizes and check the storage instructions for before and after opening.

  • Assuming organic recipes all have the same nutritional profile

    The organic products listed by Carrefour and Auchan have stated fat contents of 2%, 8.5% or 10%, depending on the product.

    Read the nutrition information per 100 g for each product, especially the fat and saturated fat content.

  • Overlooking chilled transport during a big shop

    Yoghurt must be kept refrigerated, and you should follow the use-by date. When doing a big shop, take particular care with how long chilled products are out of the fridge.

    Anses advises picking up chilled products at the end of your shop and putting them in the fridge promptly. Take an insulated bag if your journey calls for one.

Frequently asked questions

How can you tell if Greek-style yoghurt is organic?

Check the organic information on the packaging of the specific product, especially for the EU organic logo or the AB logo. Agence Bio explains that the EU organic logo confirms compliance with European Union rules on organic farming; the words “Greek-style” alone don’t tell you whether a product is certified.

Individual pots or a large tub: which should a large family choose?

Individual pots are a good choice if you want to serve separate portions, while a large tub can work well for bowls and cooking. Carrefour lists, among other options, an organic multipack of 4 × 125 g and an organic 1 kg tub. Choose according to how much your household can use within the conditions and time stated on the product.

How can you keep yoghurt chilled during a big shop?

Pick up yoghurt at the end of your shop and put it in the fridge as soon as you get home. Anses advises keeping the transport time for chilled products to a minimum and using an insulated bag if needed. Then follow the use-by date and the instructions on the packaging.
