(WJW) – A popular yogurt company is recalling more than a dozen varieties of yogurt due to the potential presence of plastic pieces, which could have sharp edges and cause choking, as seen in a recall alert published at the official website of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
According to the recall alert, Danone U.S. is voluntarily recalling all flavors and sizes of YoCrunch products currently sold at retail stores nationwide.

Danone says consumers have reported finding plastic pieces in the “dome toppers,” which are separate compartments containing the yogurts’ toppings. Officials say only the separately packaged toppers are affected — not the separately packaged yogurt.
“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,” reads the alert. “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.”
Impacted product names and code dates, as provided by the FDA, are below.
