We Graded Every Greek Yogurt We Could Find. They’re All Actually Good.
Most of our report cards are an exposé. This one isn’t. We graded every Greek yogurt we could find — 19 of them, plain and flavored, nonfat to full-fat — on the same 6-dimension Labelgrade, and every single one landed a B or a B+. Greek yogurt is the rare grocery aisle where the health reputation is basically earned: high protein, modest sugar, clean ingredients. The gaps between them are small and almost entirely about two things — added sugar and milkfat — so this report card is less 'who failed' and more 'how the genuinely-good options separate.'
The verdict
Every Greek yogurt we graded landed B or B+ (77–84) — the rare aisle where the marketing is basically true. The tiny gaps are added sugar and milkfat: plain and 'zero sugar' tubs edge the fruit-flavored ones, and full-fat Fage Total 5% sits lowest, dinged only on saturated fat — not protein.

How we graded these
Each product is scored on six dimensions — protein density, ingredient quality, added sugar, sodium, fiber, and saturated fat — combined into a 0–100 score and a letter grade. Every number comes from the product’s own label, verified against USDA FoodData Central. The grade is absolute (relative to all packaged foods), which is why a whole category can land in the same band. See the full methodology. Last graded 2026-06-04.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Greek yogurt scored highest?
The nonfat, low-added-sugar tubs led — see the ranked table above for the exact order and each one’s weakest dimension. The spread is tight, so even the bottom of this list is a solid yogurt.
Why did full-fat Fage Total 5% score lowest?
It’s an excellent yogurt — but our score weighs saturated fat as one of six dimensions, and 5% milkfat carries more of it than the nonfat tubs. It lost a few points there, not on protein or ingredients. A great example of how the grade is absolute, not a popularity contest.
Is flavored Greek yogurt much worse than plain?
A little, not a lot. The fruit-on-the-bottom and flavored versions add sugar, which costs a few points, but most still land in the B range. Plain (or "zero sugar") plus your own fruit is the highest-scoring move.
How is the grade calculated?
Six dimensions — protein density, ingredient quality, added sugar, sodium, fiber, and saturated fat — into a 0–100 score and a letter grade, from each product’s own label, verified against USDA data. See our methodology page.
