Dear Migros,
Some time ago a yoghurt without sugar, only with fruit, was announced here in the forum:
https://community.migros.ch/m/Migros-verbessern/Joghurt-mit-Fr%C3%BCchten-aber-ohne-Zucker/idi-p/51875
I can't find one in my (rather small) Migros. Is it only available in the big stores? What is it called? Or is it still "in development"?

Hello
"Sugar-free yogurt" is as feasible as an "indoor swimming pool", but it's an "open secret" that "less is more", the proof is"Cola-Light". :-) It is astonishing that the school curriculum has become more and more extensive since the introduction of compulsory education and that today's school leavers should be really smart. Unfortunately, the opposite is the case, because people will chase after any oxymoron, no matter how absurd, if manufacturers and stores advertise it enough. :-) When will the fireproof baked potato finally arrive?
Yoghurt without sugar sounds simpler than it is, because the fruit contains fructose and the yoghurt itself contains lactose. Sugar-free yoghurts are those without additional sweetening with granulated sugar. However, alternative sugar or sugar substitutes may still be included, as well as additional fructose. Natural yoghurt itself contains around 4.5g of sugar per 100g, just as a guide. Added to this is the natural fructose from the fruit it contains, which of course varies greatly depending on the variety.
In addition to milk, manufacturers very often also use milk solids, which contain much more sugar than fresh milk. However, milk solids do not have to be specifically listed in the ingredients. If it does, its content is included in the milk product information. The yoghurt has thus been sweetened without increasing the sugar content and a seemingly sugar-free product has been created. And because it is so sweet and tastes so good, it can be sold at a higher price.
However, the natural milk and fruit sugar is not always declared. Sometimes the only way to find it is to do some math with the nutritional information and the ingredients. For example, an M-Classic strawberry yoghurt contains 14g of sugar per 100g, but the ingredients state 9.2%. The yoghurt and the synthetically produced strawberries therefore contain the remaining 4.8%. Unfortunately, it is not possible to find out to what extent this product contains cheated sugar from the information on the pot.
In a homemade yoghurt, with ripe, sweet fruit and no added sugar, you can therefore expect around 5 to 15g of sugar. Even if you add a little sugar, you are still eating a healthy diet with two cups a day.
If a fruit yoghurt from the supermarket contains less than 10% sugar, then it's a scam and you definitely can't do without any sugar at all. :-)

Hi Ferkel,
I may not have expressed myself 100% precisely. Of course I mean a yogurt without added crystal, fruit or whatever sugar and without artificial sweeteners. Just a good yogurt without any tricks with ripe fruit. The way I would make it if I had time & fresh fruit...
Like the naturel - just with 2 ingredients & no added sugar...

Hello
With only two ingredients, there is probably no way around making it yourself, because Emmi advertises its yogurt pur with three ingredients, namely yogurt, fruit and SUGAR. :-)
http://www.emmi-pur.ch/
However, this Emmi yoghurt does not contain any other additives, as long as the ingredients that do not have to be declared are also missing.
You can also look for Greek yoghurt, which contains less added sugar but a little more lactose because it is made with cream. However, this does not apply to Nestlé's Greek yoghurt, as 5% granulated sugar is added even to natural yoghurt because it saves cream. :-) Since this summer, Nestlé has also been offering a yoghurt drink labeled "0 percent" granulated sugar, but the drink contains lots of milk, fruit and dextrose. :-)
Sugar-free foods are almost as difficult to make as cooking soup without water. :-)
