Dive Summary:
- The Food and Drug Administration and Chobani are continuing to move forward with a voluntary recall as the FDA has 89 individual reports of people suffering from illness after consuming the recalled yogurt.
- The recall has affected 35 different Chobani yogurt varieties, and the company claims to have destroyed at least 95% of the cups, which were potentially tainted with mold.
- The tainting issue has reportedly been addressed at Chobani's Twin Falls, Idaho, plant where the yogurt was produced.
Dive Insight:
Even as Chobani works to get its manufacturing procedures and image back in line, this recall represents a significant challenge for the company, which has also faced public problems with its hemp seeds and marketing language this year.
