Plain yogurt

At the Mega, I bought a tub of what I thought was plain, unsweetened yogurt. The labeling said "Zero fat" and "Zero added sugar," and "natural flavor." Yet it is as sweet as it could possibly be.
I've since looked at Merza and several mini supers. Everywhere, even the yogurts that look plain have endulzantes.
Does anyone know where I can find plain, unsweetened yogurt - preferibly low- or non-fat?

Go back to Mega Soriana and don’t forget your reading glasses :-D . The shortest the list of ingredientes is, the better it is. And it is written in really small characters…
I would recommend three products :
- The one with a red car (from Pixar animated movie Cars), I think it is a Danone.
- the completly blue one from Alpura.
- the yoplait Griego with green color on the bottom ( the blue one has sugar added). This year, it stands close to the butter section. This yoghurt is expensive but you can find it at Sam’s Club in a pack of two for a better price.

Most of non fat products contains so many others ingredients, I don’t think they qualify as yoghurts.

Thanks Mag B - I'll look for those. Hard, indeed, since apparently the makers don't consider sugars derived from milk to be actual "sugar."

I found the yoghurt at Soriana to be kind of sweet, so I ended up buying some powdered yoghurt starter and making yoghurt in my Instant Pot. Sure, it takes a bit of time, but I’ve got some time and I get unsweetened yoghurt.

It’s a bit thinner than I prefer, so I have ordered a strainer like the one I have in Canada. Once that arrives, I’ll be able to thicken the youghurt. Then I’ll add the whey to milk when I make licuados.

Try Cremeria Suiza. On Los Cocos behind the Mercado. Walk away from the Mercado and it's 2nd or 3rd store on the right.

I make yogurt in my crock pot (slow cooker) and use half a cup of plain yogurt for the cultures.
I strain it thru cheesecloth to get the thick Greek texture that I like, then I mix in walnuts, pineapple and maple syrup! Soooo Gooood!
