Meijer has voluntarily recalled select Meijer branded Greek and low-fat yogurt as a precautionary measure after a customer found glass in its yogurt cups.

Specifically, a customer returned a yogurt cup containing two small pieces of glass. Upon investigation at the retailer’s manufacturing facility, there may have been a possible risk of contamination.

There have been no illnesses, injuries or additional product concerns to date and the hazard risk to customers is considered low. The product was sold in Meijer stores in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky and Wisconsin.

The recall includes these products with an expiration date of March 8, 2018:

  • Meijer Greek Yogurt 0% Black Cherry 5.3 oz.
  • Meijer Yogurt Low-fat Blueberry 6 oz.
  • Meijer Greek Yogurt 0% Plain 5.3 oz.
  • Meijer Greek Yogurt 0% Vanilla 5.3 oz.
  • Meijer Greek Yogurt 0% Strawberry 5.3 oz.
  • Meijer Greek Yogurt 0% Blueberry 5.3 oz.

The products are packaged in a plastic cup with a foil seal. Consumers who have purchased this product should throw it away or return the product to the nearest Meijer store for a full refund.

Consumers with questions regarding this recall should contact Meijer at (800) 543-3704, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Consumers with questions or concerns about their health should contact their physician.
