Danone U.S. has announced a voluntary recall of its YoCrunch® products, impacting a wide range of flavors and sizes sold across retail stores in the United States. The recall, initiated after consumer reports of plastic contamination, addresses a critical safety concern—potential choking hazards from plastic pieces found in the dome toppers of the affected products. This recall comes under the scrutiny of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which has been working alongside Danone to ensure consumer safety.
While the issue is isolated to the dome toppers, Danone is acting swiftly to remove the products from the market. As a result, consumers are urged to refrain from consuming any YoCrunch® products affected by this recall and are provided with detailed instructions on how to identify and return the products.
The Nature of the Recall
Danone’s decision to recall YoCrunch® products stems from consumer reports indicating that transparent plastic pieces were discovered in the dome toppers of certain products. The potential health risk arises from the possibility that these plastic fragments could be consumed, leading to a choking hazard.
The recall affects all products currently available on the market, including various flavors and sizes. However, Danone has emphasized that the yogurt itself is not contaminated, and the issue is strictly related to the separately packaged dome topper.
Consumers who own affected products are strongly advised to dispose of them safely. The company has also established a Consumer Care Line to provide assistance to those seeking refunds or additional information on the recall.
Affected Products and Consumer Safety
Danone’s voluntary recall encompasses all YoCrunch® flavors and sizes, which have been sold in retail stores nationwide. According to the company, the plastic contamination is contained to the dome toppers, with no issues reported regarding the yogurt inside the packaging.
Consumers who may have purchased affected products are encouraged to carefully inspect their items and discontinue consumption immediately if they suspect contamination. For those unsure about whether their products are affected, Danone’s dedicated Consumer Care Line (1-877-344-4886) is available to offer guidance and refund options. The line operates from 9 am to 6 pm ET, Monday through Friday.
Company Response and Measures
Danone has expressed its commitment to consumer safety, assuring the public that the company is actively addressing the issue. A spokesperson for Danone confirmed that they are working diligently to remove all affected products from retail shelves. Once the issue is resolved, the company plans to reintroduce YoCrunch® products to the market, ensuring they meet all safety standards.
The recall has raised awareness about the importance of product quality control, particularly for food items that are commonly consumed by children and families. Danone has reassured consumers that their priority remains the safety and well-being of their customers, and the company continues to monitor the situation closely.
