PJ, the reason the Trader Joe's yogurt did not drain properly is because you used the "European Style" yogurt (your photo). It's soupy to begin with. I was at TJ's and wanted to try the yogurt, plain, full fat, and organic. The European Style was the only quart available. Bought it. Returned it. Full refund. (TJ is very good regarding refunds; even if the customer just complains and has nothing to return.) The dairy crew person said that there is another organic, TJ yogurt, without the European designation, and it's thicker, the American style; the type I wanted and expected. The reason I now use the full fat milk and yogurt is because one of the health newsletters I receive stated that in removing the fats essential enzymes are also removed. At my age, I need all the help I can get.
