Stonyfield Announces Voluntary Recall of Select Blueberry Cups

Affects 6-Ounce fat free blueberry yogurts

ST. LOUIS – Organic yogurt maker Stonyfield Farm is voluntarily recalling Stonyfield Organic Fat Free Blueberry Yogurt, packaged in 6 oz cups, carrying product codes printed along the cup bottom that start with the following dates:

Apr 13 08; Apr 14 08; Apr 15 08; April 25 08; Apr 26 08

The recall comes in response to consumer complaints reporting “tiny beads the size of mustard seeds” in these particular batches of fat free blueberry yogurt. There have been no reports of injury.  Company leaders believe this is an isolated incident and are taking this step as a precaution.

Stonyfield Farm is advising its distribution network to immediately remove these specific code-dates of 6-ounce fat free blueberry yogurt from retail shelves. The yogurts are sold at natural food stores and grocery retailers nationwide including Schnucks and Logli stores in Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Wisconsin, Mississippi and Tennessee.

Schnucks and Logli customers who may have purchased fat free blueberry yogurts with these code dates are asked to return opened and unopened containers to your neighborhood Schnucks or Logli stores for a full refund.

Consumers with questions should contact Stonyfield Farm Consumer Relations at 1-800-PRO-COWS or the Schnucks Consumer Affairs Department at 314-994-4400 or 800-264-4400.
