Non-PRO (1): writeaway
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: My understanding is that "Diät(joghurt)" still has quite a bit of fat but no sugar - and that "mager" has less fat than "fettarm".

: Not necessarily. Could have virtually no fat (this refers to the milk content), but be packed full of sugar!

: How about "virtually fat-free"?

Virtually is good, but "fat-free" is very often the term used in packaging, and is indeed permitted by the EU provided that the fat content is below 0.5 g per 100 g http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2...

Ultra low-fat yogurt

Colin Rowe
: This is certainly closest. "Fat-free" is too extreme IMO. Either "ultra low-fat" or "virtually fat-free".

Susanne Creak
: I would think this calls for a different term if possible, as "low-fat" is already used to translate "fettarm" (see question)

For what it's worth:
"virtually fat-free yoghurt" googles particularly well!
| agree |
Susanne Creak
: If the wikipedia article is correct, maybe two of the terms suggested above ("skim" and "non-fat"/"fat-free") should be used to translate njbeckett's particular list. I.e.: "Fruit yoghurt, skimmed/non-fat"
