A series of fruit yoghurts from the ‘Yoplait’ brand have been pulled from supermarket shelves in France because of a manufacturing defect leading to a ‘spicy taste’.
The yoghurts, sold in multi-packs of four, six, eight or 16, were reported by consumers to have an off taste and damaged lids, which the RappelConso recall site said is due to the presence of small floral spores.
The products are not harmful to consume, but may taste unpleasant. Official advice however is still to not consume any of the yoghurts affected.
The three recalled products are as followed:
Panier de Yoplait 0% (fruits rouges, fruits jaunes, panachés)
Although the products are sold in most major supermarkets, only those from Leclerc, Système U, Intermarché, Métro, Carrefour, Auchan, and shops managed by the ‘AMC’ and ‘Even’ groups are affected.
Customers who bought the yoghurts can return them to the store of purchase before April 11, and will be given discount vouchers in return (not a direct refund).
A customer helpline has also been made available at 0 800 02 21 21.
A full list of the affected products with their GTIN codes and lot numbers can be found on the official RappelConso website, in the ‘dairy products’ section.
