A major recall of own-label yoghurts sold by Tesco, Waitrose, Asda, Sainsbury’s and Co-op is under way, after manufacturer Yeo Valley said they might be contaminated with pieces of rubber.
A total of 23 SKUs sold across the five supermarkets – as well as some branded lines from The Collective Dairy – have been pulled from sale, after the Food Standards Agency issued a recall notice on Sunday (31 July).
Consumers were advised not to eat the products, as the presence of rubber represented “a possible risk to health”, the FSA said. Instead, consumers should follow point-of-sale advice displayed in the affected retailers.
Yeo Valley sells organic yoghurts under its own brand (which has not been named in the recall) but also has a major own-label manufacturing side to its business.
The company was not immediately available for comment.
Responding to consumer questions on Twitter, the company tweeted the following update:
@Thisisartofglam We can confirm that no YEO Valley branded products are affected by the recall only the products that are listed in (1/3)
