They were on the market for almost a month. Yoplait yogurts marketed throughout France were recalled this Thursday because they present “consumer feedback on an organoleptic defect (spicy taste) and a deformation of the packaging (swollen lid) due to spoilage flora”, indicates the Rappel Conso site, which warns of dangerous products marketed in the country.
In detail, it is the Yoplait 0% baskets (red fruits, yellow fruits, variegated fruits) which are affected by this recall. They were sold in batches of 6, 8 or 16. They were marketed between February 29 and March 28 throughout France by eight distributors: AMC Group, Auchan, Carrefour, Even Group, Métro, Intermarché, Leclerc and System U.

If you consume a product corresponding to this withdrawal: don't panic. The spoilage flora present in the products does not present “no health risk”, but deteriorates “the quality of the product and the packaging”. The only risks faced by the consumer are thus “organoleptic modifications”, i.e. variations in the sensory receptors of the product such as appearance, smell, taste, texture or even consistency.
The full list of affected batches is available on the government website. Reminder Conso advises to “no longer consume” and “destroy” these yogurts. Consumer compensation is possible “in the form of a reduction voucher on the lots affected by the recall”.
