YoCrunch yogurt products voluntarily recalled due to possible plastic contamination
Danone U.S. is voluntarily recalling 17 varieties of YoCrunch yogurt sold nationwide "due to the potential presence of plastic pieces in the dome topper," the company said this week. In a company announcement shared on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website Monday, Danone U.S. said it initiated the recall in cooperation with the FDA on July 11, 2025, after consumers "reported the presence of plastic pieces in the toppers, which have the potential to cause choking." The products come in two adjoining containers, a base filled with yogurt and a separately sealed topper with various add-ins like Oreo pieces, mini M&M's candies, Snickers and Twix. The transparent plastic pieces may have sharp edges, which Danone U.S. said "could present a risk to consumers because some pieces are between 7 and 25 mm in length." "The issue is isolated only to the separately packaged topper and does not impact the separately packaged yogurt," the company said, noting that the recall applies to "all flavors and sizes of YoCrunch products currently inmarket." A full list of impacted products, including lot numbers and expiration dates, can be found here. Danone U.S. said it 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." Customers who purchased the recalled YoCrunch products have been urged to not consume them and to contact the company's consumer care line at (877) 344-4886, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, for questions and refund information. In a statement to ABC News on Wednesday, Danone U.S. said, "We take every consumer experience seriously and are issuing this voluntary recall in line with Danone's commitment to product quality and consumer safety."

Walmart Recall Update: Customers Told Not to Consume Products Nationwide
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Walmart has so far announced that four food products sold in its stores nationwide have been recalled in July. The latest, on Monday, was Danone U.S.' voluntarily recall of all flavors and sizes of its YoCrunch yogurt, following consumer complaints about the potential presence of sharp, transparent plastic pieces in the yogurt's dome topper, the company said. Why It Matters This recall marks the latest in a series of notable product recalls issued so far this year. Food recalls due to contamination or mislabeling can undermine consumer trust and place vulnerable individuals (such as children, the elderly, or those with allergies) at greater risk. Food safety remains a paramount concern for American households, and the frequency of such issues may influence shopping habits and regulatory responses nationwide. A Walmart Supercenter cart sits outside of the store on February 20, 2024, in Hallandale Beach, Florida. A Walmart Supercenter cart sits outside of the store on February 20, 2024, in Hallandale Beach, List of Walmart Product Recalls in July 2025 July 2 — Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon (Kraft Heinz) Kraft Heinz pulled nearly 368,000 pounds of fully-cooked Oscar Mayer Turkey Bacon after in-house tests suggested possible Listeria monocytogenescontamination. The bacon—sold nationwide, including at Walmart—carries "use by" dates from July 18 to Sept 4 and lot codes RS19, RS40 or RS42. No illnesses have been reported, but shoppers are urged to throw out or return the product. July 8 — RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches (Mondelēz) Mondelēz voluntarily recalled select 8-, 20- and 40-count cartons of RITZ Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches—and a variety pack—because some individual packs were mis-wrapped in "Cheese" film, hiding the peanut allergen inside. The mislabeled snacks, sold nationwide at retailers such as Walmart, pose a serious risk to people with peanut allergies. No injuries have been reported. July 10 — Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style Half-Loaf (Hartford Bakery) Hartford Bakery yanked six lots of its Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style Half-Loaf bread after visible hazelnuts turned up in packaging that failed to disclose the tree-nut ingredient. About 883 loaves reached Walmart and other stores across 12 states. One minor digestive complaint has surfaced; customers can return the bread for a full refund. July 14 — YoCrunch Yogurts (Danone U.S.) Danone recalled all flavors and sizes of its YoCrunch yogurt line after consumers found clear plastic shards—7 to 25 mm long—in the dome toppers. The nationwide recall, affecting multipacks and single 6-oz cups sold at Walmart and other chains, was issued over choking concerns. Consumers should discard the yogurts or seek a refund through YoCrunch's helpline. What People Are Saying Walmart says in a statement on its product recall webpage: "Walmart and Sam's Club are committed to the health and safety of our customers and members and to providing products that are safe and compliant, all supported by our health and wellness, product safety, and food safety professionals. In the event of a product recall, we work swiftly to block the item from being sold and remove it from our stores and clubs."
