Costco Recalls Kirkland Signature Probiotic Yogurt Again: What You Need to Know

Costco has recalled its Kirkland Signature Probiotic Yogurt for the second time this month. This time, the recall is due to potential yeast contamination. The yogurt was sold in 24-packs of 100-gram servings with the Costco item identification number 1264134.

Danone Canada, the yogurt’s manufacturer, is asking consumers who bought the product not to eat it. The company said in a statement that the risk of illness is low because the yeast doesn't typically grow in refrigerated temperatures. However, the yeast could still cause illness in immunocompromised individuals.

What You Should Do If You Bought the Recalled Yogurt

If you purchased the Kirkland Signature Probiotic Yogurt, you should not eat it. Instead, you can take it to any Costco warehouse for a full refund. The company said it is committed to ensuring the safety of its products and apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.

Second Time This Month

This is the second time this month that Kirkland Signature Greek Yogurt has been recalled in Canada. In mid-September, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency recalled some containers of Kirkland Signature Greek Yogurt because they contained mold. The agency said the contamination was not harmful but asked consumers not to eat the product.
