Grocery Recalls This Week
Danone U.S. YoCrunch
Danone U.S. issued a voluntary recall on July 11 for its YoCrunch yogurt products sold nationwide, as there is concern of possible plastic contamination in the plastic dome toppers containing mix-ins like M&M’s, Oreos, granola, and more. The small plastic pieces could pose a choking hazard. The recall was initiated following reports from consumers who found bits of plastic mixed in the yogurt topping compartment.
The recall is for all YoCrunch products sold at all regional grocery stores and nationwide stores, including Target, Walmart, and Dollar General. The contaminated products can be identified by the lot number and expiration date ranging from July 7 to September 4, 2025. A full list of the recalled YoCrunch products can be found here.

Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches
A recall on Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches was announced by Mondelez Global LLC on July 8 due to a mislabeling error. The peanut butter-filled crackers have been mislabeled as cheese and therefore do not have a nut allergen warning, posing a serious risk to those with a nut allergy.
The recalled crackers are included in eight, ten, and 40-packs of the Ritz Peanut Butter Cracker Sandwiches and in the 20-pack Ritz Filled Cracker Sandwich Variety Pack. The impacted crackers can be returned to the store where the product was purchased for an exchange or refund. To identify if you have a recalled pack of Ritz crackers, check here.

The contaminated turkey bacon has been classified by the FSIS as a Class I recall, as a listeria infection can present serious illness and can be life-threatening in some cases. The recalled Oscar Meyer Turkey Bacon was distributed to retailers nationwide as well as the British Virgin Islands and Hong Kong.
