Sharp, transparent plastic fragments measuring up to 25 millimeters have prompted Danone U.S. to issue a voluntary nationwide recall of all YoCrunch yogurt products. Spanning every flavor and package size currently available in stores, the action affects products with expiration dates from July through September 2025. Consumer complaints about finding plastic shards in the signature dome-shaped toppers triggered the swift response, though no injuries have been reported.
What Products Are Affected
Encompassing the brand’s entire lineup of yogurt cups paired with dome toppers containing popular mix-ins, this safety action includes products featuring M&Ms, Oreos, Twix, Snickers, cookie dough, and granola varieties. Retailers across major grocery chains, including Walmart, Target, and Dollar General are working to remove affected products from shelves.
This YoCrunch recall follows a troubling pattern of contamination issues affecting frozen treats and dairy products. Earlier this month, over 17,000 cartons of premium ice cream were pulled from shelves after plastic fragments were discovered during routine quality checks. Food safety experts note that plastic contamination in dairy-based products has become an increasingly pressing concern for manufacturers and consumers alike.
Essential recall details:
• Only dome toppers are affected—the sealed yogurt remains safe to consume
• Plastic fragments described as clear, sharp-edged, and potentially hazardous
• Expiration dates range from July 7 through September 4, 2025
• All package sizes and multi-pack varieties included in recall
• No contamination reported in the actual yogurt product
Armed with multiple complaints from families discovering plastic pieces, company officials raised immediate concerns about choking hazards for children—a primary demographic for these customizable snack products.
“Danone U.S., the makers of YoCrunch, takes every consumer experience seriously and is initiating this voluntary recall in line with its commitment to product quality and consumer safety,” the company stated in its official recall announcement.
Cooperating with Danone throughout the process, FDA officials are monitoring for additional complaints while the company investigates the root cause of contamination. Quality control measures are being reviewed to prevent future incidents.
Consumer Safety Steps
Families should immediately check their refrigerators for any YoCrunch products and avoid consuming the toppers entirely. Providing refund information for affected purchases, the recall hotline at 1-877-344-4886 remains available for consumer questions. Hopefully, swift resolution of this safety issue will keep YoCrunch from joining the ranks of beloved snacks that disappeared from grocery shelves permanently.
