Stonyfield Farm recalls specific yogurt containers

LONDONDERRY, N.H. Stonyfield Farm is recalling certain containers of its plain, fat-free yogurt because they may contain food-grade sanitizer.

The recall only includes Stonyfield Farm 32-ounce fat-free plain yogurt (UPC # 52159 00006) carrying product codes printed along the cup bottom that start with the following date codes:

• May 06 09 Time stamped 22:17 through 23.59 (limited to these specific time stamps only)
• May 07 09 All time stamps

About 44,000 quarts of that yogurt were distributed to retailers nationwide, according to a Stonyfield Farm news release.

Stonyfield Farm, which is based in Londonderry, N.H., has gotten several reports of people noticing an “off-taste” when eating the product, but no reports of illness after eating the product.

“The issue was a result of human error in not following our company's standard operating procedures. Stonyfield has taken all the necessary corrective action to prevent this from occurring again,” a company news release said.

The company advises that consumers return the yogurt to the store of purchase for a full refund.
