General Mills Canada Recalls Kirkland Signature Yogurt Sold in Costco Stores

General Mills Canada Co. has recalled Kirkland Signature brand Greek yogurt that was sold in Costco stores across Canada, according to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA), because of possible mould contamination.

A form of yeast that may cause disease in individuals with weakened immune systems has caused the producer, Danone Canada, to announce the second recall of yogurt from the retailer Costco in as many months.

The recall concerns Costco’s Kirkland Signature Probiotic Yogurt, which is sold in 24-packs of 100-gram portions and was purchased at its Canadian warehouses between September 3 and September 19, according to a warning published on the retailer’s website on September 23 by Danone Canada.

According to the CBC. the Canadian provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec, and Saskatchewan, Costco retail shops carried the recalled Greek yogurts.

Danone stated that since yeast is not known to flourish in cold temperatures, there was no risk to food safety. The maker of the yogurt advised consumers to return it to a Costco warehouse for a complete refund and to refrain from eating the product.
