Which? nutritionist Shefalee Loth explained: 'Greek and Greek-style yoghurts tend to be higher in fat and saturated fat than standard natural yoghurts, but these differences are usually small, so don't forgo your Greek-style yoghurts on concerns around fat.”

'There are low-fat and fat-free versions available, and these are fine if you prefer the taste, but yoghurt isn't really a big source of fat in our diet.”

She added: “The healthiest option is to choose unflavoured yoghurts that don't contain added sugars, and then add fruit for taste and sweetness.”
