Danone Canada is recalling its Kirkland Signature Probiotic Yogurt in Canada due to concerns it could pose a health risk to immunocompromised individuals.
The yogurt, sold in 24-packs of 100-gram servings, has Costco item number 1264134. Consumers who purchased the product are advised not to eat it and can return it to any Costco location for a full refund. The recall is due to the potential presence of a type of yeast that may cause illness.
“The food safety risk is low as this yeast is not known to grow in refrigerated temperatures,” Danone Canada said in a written notice Monday that Costco sent to affected customers and posted on its website(opens in a new tab). “We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.”
The affected yogurt has “best before” dates of October 18, 20, and 22.
For more information, consumers can reach Danone by email at service.canada@danone.com or by phone at 1-888-846-8203, Monday to Friday, from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET (excluding holidays).
