Who are these options for?

Shoppers who prioritise organic

You want to choose a certified organic product, even if it isn’t a 0% fat recipe. Then compare the nutritional values per 100 g to see exactly what’s in the pot.

Shoppers looking for 0%

You’re primarily looking for plain Greek-style yoghurt with 0 g of fat per 100 g. If organic matters to you too, check its certification separately.

Shoppers who care about texture and pack size

You want a thick texture for a bowl or recipe, and a pack size that suits how you’ll use it. The type of milk, fat content and storage instructions after opening can help you choose between products. Skyr is another category to consider if you don’t specifically need Greek yoghurt.

Which criteria should you compare?

To choose between organic and 0%, decide which matters most to you, then check the certification and fat content per 100 g for each product.

Criteria What to check Who it matters to
Organic certification For the specific product, look for the Euro-leaf logo, the code of the certifying body and an indication of the origin of the agricultural raw materials. The AB mark may appear alongside the European logo, according to Agence Bio. When buying organic, I want to be able to recognise a certified product before choosing its recipe; around 42% of shoppers would make this certification their top criterion.
Fat content The value in g per 100 g and, if you’re specifically looking for this feature, the 0% claim. Don’t infer the fat content from the term “Greek-style” alone. I compare recipes because I want to reduce fat above all else, even if the product I choose isn’t organic; around 42% of shoppers would make fat content their priority.
Texture and pack size The type of milk, the pot size and the storage instructions after opening, depending on how you plan to use it. I’m looking for a thick texture for my recipes and a pack size I can use after opening; around 16% of shoppers would prioritise this use above all else.

Common misconceptions to avoid

  • Assuming “organic” means “low-fat”

    Carrefour France product listings show 9.1 g of fat per 100 g for Carrefour Bio Greek-style yoghurts and 6.6 g for Mavrommatis organic sheep’s milk Greek yoghurt. So organic certification alone doesn’t meet the requirements if you’re looking for a 0% product.

    If both criteria are essential to you, check the certification details and nutritional values on the same pack.

  • Relying on the term “Greek-style” alone

    The term doesn’t specify a fat content. Carrefour France product listings show 0 g per 100 g for Delta and Fage, 7 g for Danone and 9.1 g for Carrefour Bio.

    Compare fat content and ingredients on a like-for-like basis per 100 g, rather than assuming you know the nutritional profile from the product category.

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

    A 1 kg pot can provide several portions or be used in different recipes, but you should also consider the storage instructions after opening when choosing a pack size.

    Follow the temperature and storage period after opening stated on the packaging. If the product has a use-by date, don’t go beyond it, in line with guidance from the French Ministry of the Economy.

Brands to consider

Carrefour Bio

An organic Greek-style yoghurt sold in packs of four 125 g pots.

  • Carrefour France lists this product as organic.
  • It contains 9.1 g of fat per 100 g: organic certification doesn’t mean 0%.

Delta

A plain 0% Greek-style yoghurt, available in a 1 kg pot according to Carrefour France’s product listing.

  • The listing shows 0 g of fat per 100 g.
  • If you’re shopping for organic, check the product’s certification details separately.

Fage

Carrefour France describes its Total 0% product as a 500 g pot made with skimmed milk and live cultures.

  • The listing shows 0 g of fat per 100 g.
  • The 0% claim doesn’t tell you whether it’s certified organic. Check the label if this matters to you.

Mavrommatis

A 1 kg pot of organic sheep’s milk Greek yoghurt, according to Carrefour France’s product listing.

  • Depending on how quickly you use it, this size may suit several portions or cooking.
  • The listing shows 6.6 g of fat per 100 g, so this isn’t a 0% product.

Yoplait

Its skyr is another option if you’re mainly looking for a thick texture and don’t specifically need Greek yoghurt.

  • Yoplait describes its skyr as being made with skimmed milk.
  • Check the nutritional values, ingredients and any organic certification for the specific product you choose.

Frequently asked questions

How can you identify organic Greek yoghurt?

For a pre-packed product that is covered by the rules, look for the Euro-leaf logo, the code of the certifying body and an indication of the origin of the agricultural raw materials. According to Agence Bio, the AB mark may appear alongside the European logo. A plain recipe or green packaging isn’t enough to confirm certification.

Is organic Greek yoghurt always 0% fat?

No. Carrefour France product listings show 9.1 g of fat per 100 g for Carrefour Bio Greek-style yoghurt and 6.6 g for Mavrommatis organic sheep’s milk yoghurt. Check the per-100 g value for the specific product you’re thinking of buying.

Is 0% Greek-style yoghurt automatically organic?

No. The 0% claim refers to fat content, not organic certification. If you want both, check each one on the label of the same product.

How should you choose a pack size and store yoghurt after shopping?

Choose a pack size that suits the amount you expect to use, then follow the temperature and storage instructions after opening on the packaging. Keep it out of the fridge for as little time as possible during transport. If there’s a use-by date, don’t go beyond it, as the French Ministry of the Economy advises.
