Popular YoCrunch yogurt products are being voluntarily recalled following consumer reports of plastic pieces in the dome topper that could potentially cause choking, parent company Danone U.S. announced Tuesday.
The company, based in White Plains, New York, issued the recall on Friday for “all flavors and sizes of YoCrunch® products currently inmarket,” according to the release, and is being conducted with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
“The plastic pieces are transparent, may have sharp edges, and could present a risk to consumers because some pieces are between 7 and 25 mm in length,” the statement read.
Only the separately packaged topper is affected and not the yogurt itself, the release stated. Customers who purchased the affected products are advised not to consume them and may contact the company regarding refunds.
“The company is working swiftly with retail partners to remove the impacted product from shelves, while it works to address the issue and bring back the YoCrunch® products so many people enjoy,” the company said.
