Costco's Greek yogurt recalled across Canada due to mould
Recall affects 24-packs of Costco's Kirkland Signature brand Greek yogurt with Aug. 10 best before date
A brand of yogurt sold at Costco has been recalled due to mould, says the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
The federal agency's notification affects 24-packs of Greek yogurt under Costco's Kirkland Signature brand with the best before date of Aug. 10, 2024, marked as "2024 AU 10." The printed UPC code is "0 96619 22215 5."
The agency says the microbial contamination is not harmful, though stores and consumers are told not to use, sell, serve or distribute the affected product.
The recalled products were distributed in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Quebec and Saskatchewan, according to the CFIA.
In a statement to a Tilbury Times Local Journalism Initiative reporter, Costco assured customers it is fully cooperating with the CFIA to prioritize public safety.
"The safety and quality of our products is a top priority, and we are taking swift action to address the issue," the company said.
