Chobani, Inc. issues voluntary recall of yoghurt over mould growth fears

US company Chobani, Inc. has issued a voluntary recall for a small quantity of product – yoghurt - produced at the company’s Idaho facility. Over 95% of the units in question have already been identified and removed from retailer shelves.

According to a press release issued by the company, the Voluntary Recall Product Information is thus: Code: 16-012 and Best By: 9/11/2013 – 10/7/ 2013. No other products are involved in the recall, it added.

The company stated that it began a proactive and voluntary withdrawal of product, after learning that small quantity had been affected by a type of mould commonly found in the dairy environment. While this type of mould is unlikely to have ill-health effects, due to some claims of illness the company has decided to go from voluntarily withdrawing to voluntarily recalling the limited amount of potentially affected product.
