SHOPPERS are being warned to stay away from a popular yogurt brand after pieces of sharp plastic were discovered inside.

The contaminated product comes with toppings such as Oreos, M&M’s, granola, and cookie dough, and is sold in stores nationwide.

On July 11, Danone US announced a nationwide recall of all YoCrunch yogurt products over the alarming safety risk.

Based in White Plains, New York, and Louisville, Colorado, the company said the plastic was only found in the dome toppers, not the yogurt itself.

Still, consumers are being told not to eat any YoCrunch products currently on the market.

The fragments of clear plastic, which may reach up to an inch in length and have sharp edges, pose a potential hazard for cuts or choking, particularly for children.

Danone said it began pulling the yogurts after receiving complaints from customers who found plastic pieces in their snack.

The company is now working with the FDA and retail partners to remove the affected products from store shelves.

“We consider all consumer feedback with utmost importance,” stated Danone in a press release. They emphasized that the recall was initiated voluntarily as part of their commitment to maintaining product quality and ensuring consumer safety.

The allure of YoCrunch products largely stems from its mix-ins like cookie dough, granola, and candy that are combined with flavored yogurt, which are currently at the heart of this safety concern.

The recall includes dozens of variations, such as vanilla yogurt with M&M’s, vanilla with Oreo pieces, strawberry with granola, and vanilla with Twix, Snickers, or cookie dough.

The yogurt takes several forms as well, including single 6-ounce cups, four-packs of 4-ounce servings, eight-packs, and 18-count club packs.

All expiration dates from July through September 2025 are affected.

Consumers can find a full list of UPC codes and date codes in Danone’s press release.

Wegmans is among the grocery stores that have notified customers of the recall and are offering refunds at the customer service desk.

Other major chains are expected to do the same, though Danone has not confirmed how long YoCrunch will be off shelves.

Flavors Recalled

YoCrunch Yogurt products affected:

  • Vanilla with M&M’s
  • Vanilla with Oreo Pieces
  • Strawberry with Granola
  • Vanilla with Snickers Pieces
  • Vanilla with Twix Candy
  • Vanilla with Cookie Dough
  • Strawberry with M&M’s
  • Strawberry/Raspberry with Granola
  • Mixed packs: Oreo & M&M, Snickers & Twix

Expiration dates:

  • Earliest date: July 7, 2025
  • Latest date: September 4, 2025

Some of the plastic shards found are up to 25 millimeters in size – nearly an inch – raising serious injury concerns.

While no injuries have been reported yet, the potential for choking prompted the sweeping recall.

Danone has not provided a timeline for when fresh, safe YoCrunch yogurt will return to stores.

Until then, all existing products should be tossed or returned.

In May, more than 20 frozen desserts were pulled from shelves due to concerns they could cause mouth injuries and other health problems.

Wells Enterprises issued a voluntary recall at the end of June, warning that 22 bulk ice cream and frozen yogurt products may be contaminated with hard plastic.

The recall affects 3-gallon tubs distributed to more than 100 locations nationwide.

The plastic fragments could pose serious risks, including mouth injuries, dental damage, and choking.
