Danone U.S. has initiated a voluntary nationwide recall of its YoCrunch yogurt products, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced. The recall stems from the potential presence of small plastic fragments within the separately packaged dome toppers, which could pose a choking hazard to consumers.
Plastic Pieces Detected in Yogurt Add-Ons
The recall was initiated on July 11, 2025, following consumer reports of plastic fragments found in the cookie, candy, and granola toppings included with the yogurt. The transparent pieces measure between 7 and 25 millimeters and may have sharp edges, raising safety concerns.

Bought Recalled YoCrunch? Here’s What to Do Next
If you’ve purchased any of the recalled YoCrunch yogurt products, it’s crucial to take immediate action. Danone U.S. has confirmed they are “working swiftly with retail partners to remove the impacted product from shelves, while it works to address the issue and bring back the YoCrunch products so many people enjoy.”

Danone U.S. Has Faced Similar Recalls in the Past
While the July 2025 YoCrunch recall marks the first time this product line has been pulled due to plastic contamination, it’s not the first time Danone U.S. has faced safety-related recalls.
Earlier this year, in May 2025, the company recalled more than 20 frozen dessert products after reports of hard plastic fragments found in bulk packaging raised concerns about potential mouth injuries. Though unrelated to YoCrunch, the issue was similar—foreign plastic matter in consumer goods—and resulted in a wide-scale voluntary recall.
Just a few months prior, in February 2025, over 75,000 bottles of International Delight coffee creamers (also under the Danone umbrella) were recalled following spoilage complaints and reports of illness.
Danone has issued several smaller recalls in recent years. In 2023, certain YoCrunch Vanilla Yogurt with M&M’s was recalled due to undeclared wheat allergens, affecting approximately 240 cases. In 2024, Dannon Plain Yogurt was pulled from stores in Georgia after potential sanitizer contamination. And as far back as 2009, Danone’s Nutricia division recalled a hypoallergenic infant formula due to a blending error that impacted its nutrient content.
These past incidents suggest that while Danone U.S. has a history of product recalls across its brands, the company typically acts quickly to remove affected items from shelves and notify the public. The current YoCrunch recall, triggered by reports of sharp plastic fragments in dome toppings, appears consistent with this proactive approach.
