Thanks for sharing this important information about what to consume. Sincere regards..
Why fat free? I would never choose these.
Why are they all fat free?
Zoe, the leading research group in the UK & America led by Dr Tim Spector have for some time now recommended fermented dairy products to be “full fat” which is in opposition to your food grading system.
I also prefer 10% fat Greek yogurt as I really dislike the texture of all the 0% I have tried and find them unpalatable. We have recently started mixing 10% Greek yogurt with Kefir yogurt and like the combination. Should we be avoiding 10% all together and is there a 0% with a 10% texture? Thanks
I thought we were now advised to eat full fat yogurt?
So confusing please help !
Very interesting! We already have the Tesco Product. Which I tested way back.
Your comment about the benefits were welcomed too.
I wholeheartedly agrree with all the comments questioning your bias for fat free yoghurts in your review while omitting the big concerns over milk products from cows that have been fed with bovaer! How come?
Thank you – I buy full fat Sainsbury’s Greek yogurt every week. But thank you for researching fat free Greek yogurts. Major health concern is additives in all milk products, in particular, “ Bovaer supplement trials by Arla and others! I never buy fat free or sugar free and prefer food and drinks in the most natural state possible. I’m convinced that the rise in cancer rates and other disabilities is directly linked to bioaccumulation of additives in food and drink, as well as beauty, hygiene and clothes! Yuka app is a life saver, which I use to navigate as many product, as you cover. The most expensive products, in all categorises appear to include the most high risk ingredients. Thank you again. 🙏
Yuck – buying food that’s had its natural goodness removed I have to question this ?
I 💯 agree 👍
Cows milk , “ natural “ ?
Hi, thank you for this. As a diabetic, I am told not to eat fat-free products as they usually disguise additional sugar or sugar substitutes. I eat plain yogurt almost every day, but I buy the type with fat in. Can you let me know if the above products have more sugar products than the type I buy. Thank you, I am a big fan of yuka.
I would avoid fat free and go for Onken full fat yoghurt
Have you tested the higher fat Greek yogurts? Was Aldi yogurt tested?
Ah yes, the one from Aldi is great!
I eat Aldi fat free Greek yogurt, £1.99 for 500g, no additives made in Greece 🇬🇷
Thank you, I eat a plant based diet and react to dairy products so I can’t eat any of these.
I was told by a nutritionist that we should eat full fat Greek yogurt.. never to eat fat free ? suicvh conflicting information ..very confusing.. but io amm grateful for your app.
Hi
Thank you so much
I’ll definitely give this a try
As my doctors recommend vitamins and calcium.
Why on earth are you promoting fat free? We’ve moved on from the 1970s! We now know why we need these good fats in our diets. Stuff like this makes me wonder why on earth use your app. Very disappointing
Why only fat free ones? As with previous comments these are not the healthy ones. Very disappointing and this has undermined my trust in you.
I prefere full fat yogurt. How does that rate. Tesco’s own
Is Kefir yogurt better / any good? Eg from Biotiful or Yeo Valley. Or better just to stick with Greek
Why do t you have any non fat free Greek yoghurt on the list??
We all know that fat free isn’t necessarily better for you.
Fat isnt something to fear anymore and is better when it’s in its natural form.
Why fat free? Some fat free Greek yogurt is higher in protein but as others have said, good health does not demand fat free and there is ample evidence to support full fat. I agree also re ‘Greek style’. My go-to Greek yogurt is Tim’s Dairy (the full fat version) which is exceptional, and I will certainly not be changing it in the light of this review. I am (again) disappointed in Yuka. This review seems pointless and misleading.
All 0% fat this equals more sugar not good. It should be full fat all the way!
Terrible. Why promote fat free yoghurt full of additives when you should be eating the full fat with no additives and very delicious
Milbona is sold by Lidl. Very good
We buy the M&S yoghurt ( the 10% fat version) which is excellent and has a nice texture. We find that with 0% fat it leaves the yoghurt tasting washed out. We have also tried Yeo Valley which is also generally excellent but found the constituency unreliable with some separation leaving an odd taste.
Any chance you can recommend a half decent biscuit for treats. Virtually every one we scan comes up as 0/100. Surely someone makes a biscuit that won’t kill us too soon?
Sorry, I don’t do fat-free, ever!
Fat free yoghurt is the last thing you should be putting in your body. 10% fat is the best.
These are all fat free options. I would like to know why fat free is better than full fat ?
0% fat ???? Nah! Doesn’t fill you up & we need fat – our brains need fat, fat soluable vitamins NEED FAT ! Additives & other flavourings are used to make 0% fat palatable. I’m seriously doubting whether I’ll renew my YUKA subscription after seeing this.
Why have you not included Aldi 0% fat Greek yoghurt as it rates 90/100 on the app
Very helpful. Thanks
Bit disappointed with this feature, I LOVE Yuka and everything you stand for but to recommend Fat free is a mistake I believe from everything I have read….removing the fat also removes the fat soluble vitamins as I understand it…I’m already converted to Greek yoghurt for all the reason you give, but I choose full fat
Great choice. I’ve always bought lidl but the white tub. It’s amazing
Why are all of these options fat-free as far as I know that a higher fat content is actually better for the body? The fact that it’s fat free means that it has been altered in some sort of way. I don’t buy anything that is fat free, full fat milk all the way!
Oh Yuka what have you done? Fat Free Yoghurt!!!!! Sadly I am now doubting the authenticity of your ratings.
I would really like to see this done on full fat Greek yogurt 😊
Absolutely – fat free is really not good ! I’m really surprised at this
Hi Anne,
Thanks for letting us know! We’ll keep this in mind for future listings.
Not neccesarily healthy at all. All of thr yoghurts are ‘fat free’
Fat is not the baddie here..sugar, carbs and fillers are. We need essential fats for brain health..possibly one of the reasonswhy we have a lot of mental health
issues..because of the 0% fat culture in the last 30 years
ALDI / LIDL Greek are not mentioned why.
Ooh,quite disappointed with this. As a lot of others have mentioned,Fat Free isn’t the beacon of health we’ve been told it is. Far more nutrients in the full fat version. And Greek ‘Style’ isn’t genuine Greek Yogurt.
Hi Sharon,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. The selection you’re seeing is “top Greek yogurts”, which means it highlights the products with the best overall scores in that category. Because the score takes nutritional factors like saturated fat into account, fat-free versions often receive higher scores, so they appear more frequently in that list.
This doesn’t mean well-rated, full-fat yogurts don’t exist in the app, only that they may receive slightly lower scores and therefore don’t appear in that specific “top products” selection.
Of course, Yuka is simply a label decoder that presents information about products. The goal is to help users compare options, but everyone is free to choose what best fits their own preferences and dietary approach.
I’m shocked that you are recommending fat-free and Greek ‘style’. Any food that has the fat removed means extra processing. Also Greek ‘style’ is not the same, and typically has around half the natural protein. This is my first look at Yuka and I am not at all impressed.
Really good app.
I only eat normal full fat yoghurts and I am astonished that you only mention fat free versions. Fat free products are obvioulsly more processed than the natural version, besides tasting less good.
To add to the fat free debate, Professor Tim Spector has done vast amounts of research into our gut biome and concludes that fat free options are definitely NOT the best. Also says to be sure to eat authentic greek yoghurt and not greek style yoghurt.
I have read most of the comments and I’m sorry to say that I agree with them.
I never buy fat free for the reasons already stated.
That’s is genuinely really useful. Plant based versions would be great too.
I have read most of the comments and I’m sorry to say that I agree with them.
I never buy fat free for the reasons already stated.
There are no suitable for vegan/milk intolerant options here. Does this mean that they have very low scores? Or is this only based on dairy yogurts?
Why have you only ranked 0% fat Greek yoghurt? Full fat is as good, if not better for you.
There are no suitable for vegan/milk intolerant options here. Does this mean that they have very low scores?
Thanks for all the information
Why fat free? As a diabetic I am now being advised natural is better for us. Items like Whole Milk is better than Skimmed milk, as most of the vitamins etc are still present.
You have only rated fat free Greek yoghurts, but full fat natural Greek yoghurt has even more nutrients and potentially more micro organisms and is less processed. So overall, should be more nutritious, definitely tastes better, and in moderation the fat isn’t an issue in a balanced healthy diet, in fact it’s a good thing.
Completely agree!!
I use soya Greek yogurt,made by Alpro as I don’t like dairy
Why fat free? That’s not natural and surely has had the fat removed by being processed? I think everyone knows our bodies need natural fats and non-processed foods. My favourite 10% Greek yogurt is Waitrose own.
I don’t understand how fat free and Greek ‘style’ can be at the top of the list?
Fabulous app and info on food and cosmetics invaluable. Thank you to all stars Yuka
Totally agree Ben!
The glucose goddess would never recommend fat free. Is there an explanation for your choice?
Why have you chosen fat free? The fats in yogurts are great at balancing blood sugar spikes and are actually helpful for your body. Fat free means they’ve messed around with them which is less good for your body. Are you going to do a ranking of the best full fat yogurts too? Would also love to see a ranking of full fat kefirs as the flavoured ones tend to have a lot (too much) sugar in them!
I think Tim’s yoghurts are the best, not even mentioned in your list!
I agree with the comments questioning the fat free bias. This fat is bad theory proposed by the bad science of Ancel Keys in the 70’s was busted a long time ago but seemingly still persists. This very theory caused the sugar and UPF problem that we have now. The YUKA algorithm needs to be reassessed and adjusted accordingly . Fat is not bad.
I would like to have know a good dairy free natural yoghurt
Alpro Greek yogurt
Yuka have damaged their reputation by suggesting that fat free are the best yoghurts when they are, in fact, the worst. Full fat are the best. They have therefore selected ten yoghurts which no-one should eat.
It makes you wonder what else they are going to get badly wrong. A shame, as this was a good source for additive-free foods and products.
This does seem very worrying
Have they suggested fat free is the best or that these are the best of the fat free? That is what I took from it anyway.
What’s your verdict on Alpro Greek-style Plain yogurt?
Good to know. However, I only eat full fat Greek Yogurt. 😋
Why fat free? We need good fats. Can you top ten full please.
Why are all the products fat free? Fat is not all bad. I don’t like my food processed to remove fat then often other things added. I prefer my natural yogurts to be natural.
Why are all of these fat-free?
what about Aldi and Lidl Greek yogurt?
Milbona is from Lidl
Love Aldi Greek yogurt. NOT Greek style though. The fat free option of the Greek yogurt has more protein but is not quite as creamy as the option 10% fat version.
Why are they all fat free? Surely it is healthier to avoid processed foods.
Disappointed
Did you review Lidls Greek style yogurt?
Really annoying to see only fat free. I eat full fat Tim’s Dairy greek yogurt without fail 7 mornings a week. It is rated good on Yuka which is good enough for me as I am a little bit addicted to it. Now I am questioning my choices which, judging by all the comments, I shouldn’t be!!
Why a list of fat free yogurts only when you are rating Greek yogurt.
We have been told time and again that fat free means extra process, it means the fat is replaced with something else.
This is very disappointing from Yuka, I would expect you to rate on the most natural least processed, not on what’s processed and not least harmful.
We are smart enough to choose how much fat we include in our diets and from what sources
Biased opinion towards 0% Fat Greek Yogurt? You are slowly going down in my estimation of a professional health app.
Agree with some of the comments below regarding only fat free Greek yoghurt being assessed. Why is this and could we have a comparison of those with fat content please.
I don’t use fat free products would like more info on kefir yogurt
Fat free isn’t good for us – how about doing this comparison with normal yogurt!
Agree. Full fat is more natural.
Dairy free alternatives would be great to know
Agree with a lot of the comments here, I’d never buy fat-free (unless that was the only option available) and would always only buy authentic Greek yogurt, not Greek style.
I’m also concerned that they’re all fat-free .. why?
It would be useful to know why the N1 stands out
Why have you rated only 0% fat yoghurt when we are told full fat dairy is better for menopausal women and older people?
I prefer fat in the yogurt. Also, I don’t mind sweet and salt as long as it’s natural and I consume a small amount. Your scoring downgrades for sweet, energy and salt. I only use the app for the high risk additives. The app is good for couch potatoes and not athletes.
Why is fat free the best. Then it’s not natural as they would have put chemicals in to remove the natural fat. Which is the best with its natural fat intact please. Thank you
FAT free yoghurts are a no no !!!!! 🤢
Please make suggestions for those who are dairy free
Disappointing that you only rate the fat free ones. I never buy fat free. What are they replacing the fat with? What are they doing to it to remove the naturally occurring fat?
I make the easi-yo homemade yoghurts would be interested to know the nutritional value of these
0% fat, not so good. The body needs some proportion of fat to maintain health.
Why are they all fat-free? I do not believe that fat-free is particularly healthy. I always used to eat fat-free products and had endless weight problems. When I stopped buying fat-free miraculously my weight stabilised, food became more satisfying, I ate less – bingo. Life seems so much easier.
A shame you did not include the fat containing varieties – which are more authentic and many studies claim healthier – and certainly tastier!
Are you able to do dairy free alternatives please.
Interesting results but note that Lancashire Farm didn’t appear in your listing – any reason for that?
Surprised to see all these as fat free. I thought fat free products were not the best and we should eat sensible amounts of full fat whole food ?
Whny this obsession with low fat? We need fat.
Dr Mosely always recommended whole milk and full fat yoghurt.!
Fat free yogurts often have added carbon.g. potato starch to make them thick. Far better is full fat .milk yogurt. Low fats are a thing of the past. Saturated. Fat is not evil.
Great knowing thanks
Fat free isn’t necessarily the healthiest option… full fat is recommended by a lot of dieticians
Unfortunately they are all ‘fat free’ which is now agreed by most experts not to be the healthiest choice? I never eat fat free! Disappointed
Good of you to review those listed but …A little fat is good for us, so what about the low fat yogurts? And what about the Co=op brands? Their Greek yogurt is 7% and very tasty.
Can you review the full fat versions of these – I’m particularly interested in the tesco finest – I’m addicted to it! I thought that fat free versions are usually higher in sugar? Also is Greek yogurt probiotic – if it doesn’t say this on the label does that mean it isn’t? – thanks
I agree, this would be more useful
Such a shame that the winner of this “Greek Yoghurt” test isn’t authentic Greek yoghurt, Fage at number 4 is.
That’s good to see all the different choices however I always eat Greek yogurt as it’s 0 fat
I’m about to go to Barbados any suggestions for sun cream? Thanks Suzanne
this is very useful . could you also provide a list of the worst yoghurts and explian why they were given that rating . the top ten all seem to be made in the same way with similar ratings
Hi
I do enjoy these yogurts. However having Crohn’s disease I cannot tolerate dairy. Would you know if of any other non dairy yoghurt that would not upset my tummy.
Thank you
I’d like you to survey goat or sheep products please
I note all your recommended Greek yogurts above are fat free. I have always understood that the full fat versions are superior.
only when they non fat contain added sugars – these don’t
Please do this for the organic range and bovea-free options.
It’s so important to choose dairy products from cattle that are NOT fed Bovaer which is incredibly harmful and killing cattle.
I agree. This is so important.
I have to eat full fat yogurt due to health issues. I have Greek yougurt from Sainsbury and Aldi. I find these are excellent.
Sainsbury’s? Their yoghurt is natural Greek really healthy.
Second attempt with less spelling mistakes: If the scores are the same for 9 of the 10 items, why have the rating been selected?
According to ZOE [the famous website informing us how to eat well] to be healthy it is wrong to have fat free produce, or even semi-skimmed __ all dairy produce should be full fat.
Not everything mentioned on ZOE is reliable. See one example here.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jBg2W9wa8c4
Did you review any from Aldi and Lidl ?
A lot of people shop here because of price. You really do sometimes find some good products.
I’m happy if the score is 80 out of 100.
If the scores are the same for 9 of the 10 items, why have the rating been selected?
According to ZOE there famous website on how to eat well to be healthy it is complete wrong to have fat free procdue, ask daily produce should be full fast.makes some
Thanks again, all you lovely people there at yuka..
I actively avoid anything advertised as ‘fat free’ or ‘reduced fat’ as often these products contain added sugar or sugar substitutes. Please review a full list including full fat products.
Ageeed, I’d like the same with full fat Greek yogurts, I’m not interested in fat free or diet items.
these don’t have added sugars or sweeteners
Hello, I was wondering if you had come across Woodland Dairy natural and organic sheep yoghurt – it’s beautiful. The best natural yoghurt I have tasted. The company also produce a cheese as well as goat milk products. They are in Dorset, England. I purchase their yoghurt from Able & Cole.
https://woodlandsdairy.co.uk/
Thank you.
Always loved your app.
But Why are they all fat free?
Surely the full fat is better & much much more tasty !!
I am a big believer of full fat is best
The industries removes all the goodness in fat free products.
I agree. The healthiest diets are high fat, high protein, high fibre, low carbs and all organic and freshly prepared.
I’m somewhat discombobulated that you have only included fat free yogurts. All nutritional experts, e.g Tim Spector, say we should be eating full fat yogurts. This gives me cause for doubt with Yuka’s methodology.
Why is Greek “style” yoghurt included as it is not actual Greek yoghurt also you didn’t include Aldi or Lidl Greek yoghurts in this which score high
Why are so many of them fat free?
Full fat yoghurt is a more natural product, in my view, and has many more uses in cooking. You couldn’t make labneh with fat free yoghurt for example. Full fat tastes luxurious and, as long as you don’t eat huge amounts, isn’t fattening. Low fat diets aren’t for everyone either.
Thanks but not interested in fat free. Please can we see best full fat ones?! Thank you.
I see all these are fat free.
Does Yuka not recommend full fat yoghurt?
This is really helpful. Thank you.
Is there any reason why you haven’t included yogurts with fat content? My daughter has introduced me to this App. I was 70 a few weeks ago and my app is right next to me on every shop these days and influences my purchases to make sure I optmimise my health. It is a brilliant App and introduced it to friends.
Thank you for the top yogurts. But these are all fat free, surely we need good fats too. I eat quite a lot of yogurt full fat and didnt realise how good yogurts are for our health. I would like to know the best ones with fat. Your site is soooo amazing and has changed my life and buying stuff. Thank you.
Did you taste these at all or just rank them on ingredients? And why all fat free? Many nutritionists would argue that the science points to full fat yogurt with live cultures and no other added ingredients as the best for your body.
Why have you chosen fat free over full fat?
Why fat free? Dairy fats are actually very beneficial for brain health etc
Tim’s Dairy should have been included here!!! Then to add insult to injury – I’ve been unable to add this post as someone else also happened to make a similar comment and it thinks I’m duplicating a post!!!! (Which says something in itself!!!!)
Why are yiu shoeing inly fat free once ?
Fat is good for you, leaves you fuller for longer.Also greek style youghurts are not greek yoghurt!
Tim’s Dairy should have been included here!!!
Tim’s Dairy should have been on this list!!!
I’d have liked to seen the full fat versions included in this but interesting to read. The asda one has a full fat version that I use to make 24 hour SCD legal yogurt as I have a lactose intolerance. Thank you for info 😊👍
Yeah but which one is made from milk with non Bovaer fed cows? Even Yeo Valley being organic, still use Arla to package their products YET Arla is
one of the main driving forces behind Bovaer usage. SMH.
Absolutely, Arla products should be boycotted and disallowed from this list due to them being the main Bovaer trials company in the UK.
My Yuka app rated the Yeo Valley Organic 0% Fat as 90/100 just a week ago. Why does it have a different rating than yours for exactly the same product?
What happens if you don’t want fat free? Did you review them too?
What about Kefir yogurt???
Kefir is not yogurt…
I was excited to look at the list in hope there would be a dairy free option. I was disappointed but hope you will add this alternative option in the very near future.
Why would you only show non fat ones ? Aren’t some fats good for you, especially children ?
Why fat free? I’ve studied culinary medicine etc and was taught that vitamin D is in fat so we should eat full fat dairy products. I eat organic full fat Yeo Valley yogurt. I never buy fat free dairy products. Even saturated fats are good for us in moderation!
I agree. Never eat fat free as regard as worse for you. would love this if we could do full fat version
Could do with a list of non bovaer feed diary products – M&S Tesco use cattle who are fed the hormone
Fat free? I thought a small amount of fat ie 5 or 10% in yoghurt is good for you?
I’d say Brown cow organics yogurt is the best out of all! Highly recommend!
I’ve been giving Yeo organic to my kids for the past year they absolutely love it with frozen fruit in it. Except I don’t give them the fat free version as they need the fat and I think the 5% fat is way superior to the fat free. I’m so happy it’s on the top of the list
Interesting but I thought Greek yoghurt was made with sheep’s milk. Unclear for some selected what type of milk the yoghurt is made of. Also unclear if sheep yoghurts were reviewed. Sheep yoghurt may help those who can’t have cows milk. I would like more detail.
If you are in the UK, look out for Woodland Dairy organic sheep milk. Able & Cole, some Waitrose, Sainsbury’s and M&S stores sell it. It’s delicious.
Even though i don’t choose fat free, its good to know, some are still good. Amazing list👏👏 thanks you
It would be really helpful to acknowledge the many people who are vegan, cutting down on animal products or have to be dairy free. Feels really wrong to ignore this important group. An alternative list should be included otherwise the whole article is useless to a large and growing portion of the population. Thank you for your consideration and acknowledgement of this group.
Thank you, I use this app more than any other, marvellous.
I was surprised Aldi was not listed🤔
Yes I use the Aldi one too. So much cheaper and a good amount of fat.
Yuka rates the Aldi Greek yoghurt highly and I buy this, but it’s not in the list. I never buy fat free
You missed out TIMS Greek style yogurt. I feel it’s the best.
Hi SURPRISED TO SEE : Greek Yogurt 0% Fat – Fage BEING ONLY RATED AT A 4 ? THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AT THE TOP : WOULD HELP TO KNOW WHY
Where did Aldi’s rank please?
What is wrong with full fat yogurt?
Why are they all fat free yoghurt? What have I missed? This doesn’t make sense
Unfortunately fat free is not the best. It’s had the food matrix altered and diary products such as yoghurt and cheese are fine if they have saturated fat as they are fermented. Whole fat organic milk is also best. Whole fat is also better as it neutralises any sugar spike from the natural sugars in yoghurt, ie lactose. Nature knows best. Scientists should leave the food intact! All this information is well researched and freely available from nutritionists and experts where the research is provided on eg Zoe podcasts, Doctor’s Kitchen podcasts in fact many places even newspapers etc. It has been widely known for a long time. It’s not a fringe concept! It’s one of the annoying features of the otherwise mostly excellent Yuka app when you scan anything like full fat Greek yoghurt!
Also as others have mentioned, organic is best so you’ re not getting hormones and antibiotics from the milk. Be great if this information could be updated!
100%!!! 👍👍👍
Thank you for this information, very helpful. I stopped using fat free Greek yoghurt when I realised it contained more sugars, as you say from lactose, etc,.
It would be really helpful to acknowledge the many people who are vegan, cutting down on animal products or have to be dairy free. Feels really wrong to ignore this important group. An alternative list should be included otherwise the whole article is useless to a large and growing portion of the population. Thank you for your consideration and acknowledgement of this group.
I agree with Vivienne-
Yuka I think you have missed a valid point – we need to have full fat yoghurt not fat free with additives
Can I get dairy free Greek yoghurt as I am allergic to cows milk thank you
Traditional Greek yoghurt was made with sheep’s milk. Have you tried sheep’s yoghurt. Far better than Greek style yoghurts made with cows milk.
What about Onken Greek Yogurt?
I looked up which was the best Greek yogurt between the 0 or 5 or more fat content and the results said the 5% one had more nutrition – is that true or false??
Great info. Thanks again.
Traeth y Llan is also good.
Sadly most with added fruit have addatives…or can you suggest some thst dont?
I also go for the bio live everytime now…is that better health wise?
Why is fat free yoghurt better than full fat for adding microbiomes?
Thanks, we tend to have most of these Greek yoghurts – Fage, Sainsburys, Waitrose. All good with our daily fruit salad 👍🏻
Great info. Thanks again.
Traeth y Llan is also good.
Sadly most with added fruit have addatives…or can you suggest some thst dont?
Llaeth Yr Llan
Oh dear Yuka you’ve certainly made a big mistake here. Your followers all know we need the good fats in yoghurt, 5 or 10% yogurts are the best.
Was thinking the same thing!
I also thought 5/10% fat was good
Thank you for this information. However did you know that non- organic Asda, Tesco and Morrisons dairy products contain bovaer? I am completely avoiding these products as I don’t trust this additive is safe.
Can you list a good lactose-free yogurt or one made with goats/sheep milk please?
Any suggestions for dairy free Greek yoghurt?
I tried many Greek yogurts but find the fullness overwhelming, therefore, I use it very sparingly .
My favourite yogurt ( l eat a lot) is The Marks & Spencer but not the one you have featured. Full Fat and a lovely creamy flavour .
Why fat free? Natural fats are what our body needs…
I’m confused. Why all fat free?? Is there not naturally fat in dairy products? Makes me think I don’t really understand what Yuka is all about – thought it was a health conscious organisation?
Very disappointing that you even include low fat yogurts in this.
Its like saying skimmed and semi skimmed Milk is better for you due to a lower fat content but it isn’t. The body need the natural fat to digest it.
Yes! Can we have the full fat versions please.
Please can you do the same comparison but for full fat versions? Many thanks!
I have tried many Greek yogurts but unfortunately the fullness it gives me is overwhelming. I appreciate how it’s made so therefore, I use it sparingly.
I generally buy any of these brands full fat or 10% and wouldn’t go for fat free. I’d like to see a comparison also. Thanks
Thankyou very kindly for Information. I have used few of them, delicious. Iam never sure which ones to use. Always have fat free cause I need to lose weight. Not sure on 5% etc .can someone help please. What’s better for weight loss and calories deficit. Thankyou really appreciated.
It’s not the fat making you overweight. Try cutting sugar and bad carbs.
I’m surprised SKYR natural yoghurt is not on this list? I’ve read that this Icelandic yoghurt is the best type to eat?
Only fat free yoghurts. Were only fat free considered or are they better than normal ones – I only eat the latter as it tastes better and I understood it was healthier
I’m sorry Julia but Fat Free Greek yoghurt is not authentic. Needs minimum 10%. Cut down on the fat elsewhere as part of a balanced diet.
I agree with previous comments, why fat free…I would choose a organic, free range product which contains fat and is less processed. Are bodies need healthy fats and less processed.
Totally agree. Always buy the 10% fat one from M&S, Waitrose usually but Sainsbury’s and Asda equally good. I wouldn’t buy fat free.
Terrible everything is fat free! Which mean all the nutrition of the food is gone ! Fat free is a terrible product and you should amend your classification. Thank you
Totally agree!!
I buy organic whole milk and make my own. It’s so easy, I use a couple of tablespoons of live yogurt as a starter. Just bring the milk to almost boiling point, I usually aim for 75°C, then allow to cool to 40-45°C, mix in your starter then leave in a warm place for 6-8 hours (I use the proving functionon my oven at 40°C). I then strain mine to make Greek yogurt.
Like others I don’t understand why you are only showing fat free as the heading doesn’t refer to this. Please can you explain why you haven’t included normal yoghurt? For years I bought Yeo organic fat free which I see you give a 100% rating but read full fat was more healthy so now buy that ( usually Yeo organic) . PLEASE can you do a comparison
All top 10 yogurts are fat free, I thought it was important to have a small amount of healthy fat in yogurt , I always go for a 5 or 10% Greek yogurt , which is better ?
Always eat fat free yoghurt but would be interesting to see the comparison with non fat free natural yoghurt.
Why fat free? I use Sainsbury’s full fat Greek yoghurt, just milk and cultures.
I agree with Claire, latest nutritional research showing some fats are good for you. I now eat full fat yogurts. I’m afraid that you should revisit your criteria
Why are they all fat free? Did you only test fat free varieties? I never choose fat free varieties as I feel they are a less healthy option in a well balanced diet. Also, Aldi? They do a great Greek Yogurt
ShFat free we need fat as brain is fat &water fat free is tasteless need full fat recommendations pls
Oh dear, still obsessing over FAT FREE. More education required for the Yuka staff. I thought we were over the 80s obsession of low fat.
Just noticed only fat free. Why is that not in your title? These fats are good for you. Where is the survey on those?
Great yogurts, but why fat free?
Just noticed only fat free. Why is that no in your title? These fats are good for you. Where is the survey on those? And coconut options please
Would love to see a list of the full fat ones. My baby and I need the fats.
Why are all the choices fat free? We do require some fat in our diets and natural yoghurts containing 5-10% fat are delicious
Does the Tesco Finest Greek yogurt have live cultures?
How about coconut yogurts please?
What about the animal welfare, animals being fed Bovear .. no thanks I’ll stick with organic. Plus fat free often means more sugar fat is not the enemy
Never heard of Bovaer (that’s how you spell it by the way). Hmmm, wonder if it would work on my wife…..
I’m surprised Aldi and Lidl don’t feature their Greek yogurt is just as good as Fage but far cheaper
I checked the ingredient list and I couldn’t find any live cultures, that’s probably why it’s cheaper.
Milbona is LIDL
Agree!
Yuka help me be healfy
Why is fat free important? I prefer Norr organic grass fed Icelandic yogurt. It contains 3.5 grams of saturated fat per serving. I tried Norr’s fat free yogurt and it was dry and tasteless. Food should give us pleasure along with good health.
