Why Is YoCrunch Yogurt Being Recalled Nationwide
On July 11, 2025, Danone US issued a voluntary nationwide recall for YoCrunch yogurt products, including those sold at the Target store located at 1102 Springwater Avenue in Wenatchee, Washington. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced this recall due to serious safety concerns associated with potential contamination in the yogurt dome toppers. These issues include plastic fragments that pose a choking hazard, undeclared allergens, and potential Listeria monocytogenes contamination. The recall applies to all YoCrunch 4-count/4-ounce cup packages with an expiration date from July 7 to September 4, 2025, including toppers such as M&Ms, Oreos, Twix, Snickers, cookie dough pieces, and granola.

Urgent: YoCrunch yogurt recall at Target Wenatchee due to plastic in toppers |
What’s the Issue with the Yogurt Toppers
The FDA's July 15, 2025 notice clarifies that the recall is due to reports by consumers of transparent plastic pieces (7-25 mm long, some with sharp edges) found in the separately packaged toppers, not in the yogurt itself. Ingestion of these pieces could cause choking or injury. Additionally, some products may contain undeclared allergens, and there is also a risk of Listeria contamination, which can cause serious illness, especially in pregnant women, the elderly, or people with weakened immune systems. The affected flavors include YoCrunch Strawberry with Granola, Vanilla with M&M's, Vanilla with Oreo, and Strawberry with M&M's.
How Does This Affect Shoppers at Target Wenatchee
If you recently purchased YoCrunch yogurt from Wenatchee-based Target or another retailer, check your fridge! The recall applies to products sold nationwide, and the Wenatchee Target is specifically marked as a distribution center. Consumers are urged not to consume these products, even if they look fine, because the toppers contain potential hazards. The FDA and Danone are working to remove all affected products from stores, but some may still be in homes.
What Should You Do If You Have These Products
If you have YoCrunch yogurt with the specified toppers and expiration dates, stop using it immediately. You can contact the YoCrunch Consumer Service Center at 1-877-344-4886 (Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern Time) for refund information. Visit the FDA's official recall page at www.fda.gov for a complete list of affected products, including UPC codes. Dispose of the products safely or return them to the store where they were purchased. No injuries have been reported as of July 25, 2025, but it's important to take action immediately to stay safe.
Staying Informed and Safe
Based on the information available, this recall is still ongoing, with no new updates until after July 25, 2025. To stay updated on this issue, check the FDA website for any additional announcements. If you're not sure if your yogurt is part of the recall, verify the product's UPC code or contact Danone directly. Staying informed is important to protect your family—don't take any chances with recalled products!
