Too much packaging?

I bought this yogurt in the grocery store because it was on sale for 75 cents a cup. Upon examining the packaging, it looks totally unsustainable, a plastic yogurt cup with a plastic pod on top containing fruit to mix in on top. To open the package. you take off the pod and then peel the foil and plastic seals off the yogurt and fruit respectively. Mix in the fruit(which contains only fruit and no added sugar) to your taste and enjoy. The yogurt stays tart through the crushed fruit. It was a little messy when stirring. The mess factor makes it not as good for kids as I thought it would be. The website says that the "integrated cup - lid reduces packaging and waste. HDPE #2 and PP #5 cups are completely recyclable." I'll take that, but the first time I saw this double decker structure, I was pretty skepticle. Another downside is that the yogurt in the cup isn't organic, but the sugar free fruit mixture was a nice change of pace from other flavored yogurts. I'm on the fence.
