Chobani yogurt recall
 

So I just heard on CNN that all varieties of Chobani yogurt have been recalled. Guess which mom has two thumbs and has been packing that in her kid's lunch all week? This mom! I've also been blowing her off that it didn't taste good. Where's my mother of the year award?

I threw my Chobani away yesterday. The vanilla I bought last month was not good. I kind of think that's just because vanilla Greek yogurt is not good. LOL. It may be because of this stuff. Just in case, I threw it away.

LOL. I love Greek yogurt, but I rely heavily on the fruit stuff to sweeten it up. Vanilla isn't enough to sweeten it, IMO. My dearest friend in the world eats the plain stuff with just a touch of honey. (BARF!) Of course, she has an enviable figure in her 40s, and well...I'm...um...babies love for me to hold them because it's so comfy for them.

Thanks!

You're silly. LOL. Greek yogurt is the healthier yogurt option but it isn't always the tastiest. I liked the pomegranate and pineapple Chobanis. To hell with Chobanis, though.

Liberté is another fabulous brand of Greek Yogurt and is from Canada. I switch off buying which ever one is cheapest at Kroger.

Oh no.....Chobani is my favorite, and calorie-wise it beats Liberte' which is chock full of those evil things (calories), although delicious.

anyone eat Fage? i got it at Costco. use it in smoothies. oh and typing one handed, no caps, broke my right wrist monday. you should see the other guy!!!!

FAGE is my favorite! It's like eating ice cream as far as satisfaction goes. The one with cherry is reminiscent of cherry-topped cheesecake. YUM.

Hope your wrist heals quickly!

Just checked the ones I have in the fridge. Mine don't have the recall number, and I haven't had issues with them. I love Greek yogurt, and use them a lot in smoothies.

We always get Fage...and eat it with a little bit of honey! ;) My husband is Greek, so that's the classic way to eat it. You get used to it over time. After 13 years together, I prefer it that way. He gets the 2% and I get the 0% which he says is disgusting. Ha!

OMG...AOII Angel is Greek forreaaaaal....

Boomchickawowwow....

I've gone back to Dannon vanilla with my own added fresh fruit. I'm a Greek traitor.

Fage's cherry pomegrante is the best flavor.

I've been on a Greek yogurt break and this Chobani recall has me wanting to extend that break.

An acquaintance of mine who is a reporter for the city paper's kid ate some of this yogurt and is experiencing some pretty serious medical complications. Chobani has refused to tell him what was in the yogurt so the child can be treated. They did promise that they would tell the child's doctor when he called. So far, the doc only gets a busy signal when he calls.

I've always liked yogurt so I tried one of the Greek brands recently.. it tasted very sour to me. I expected it to be thicker but taste creamy like normal yogurt. Is it supposed to taste like that or was it bad??

Greek yogurt is thick and very sour.

:p Just ate my Fage and honey. Now have to pack my ass off to work. My bosses finally decided that Friday was the day they wanted me to start back and notified me at 8:35 AM. Yay me!

That's terrible!!!!

get your lazya** self to work. got licensed? move it!

Greek yogurt is foul.

That is horrifying. I have never been so happy to have a picky eater for a child in my life.

Agreed. My boyfriend loves it so we buy normal tasty and delicious yogurt and the icky stuff. Nothing quite like taking a bite of what you thought was regular yogurt only to discover you grabbed the wrong container.

I think you either hate it or love it. I love it unless it has mold contaminating it.

ETA: or plain. Plain is gross.

It's all gross to me. I've tried and tried, but I just can't get yogurt down, regardless of what kind or flavor it is.

Vanilla is only 1/2 step above gross. I need lots of fruit in Greek yogurt to add sweetness.

I can't imagine what happens when you can't keep it down. :eek:

I said get it down, not keep it down. :p One spoonful is it. Nothing after than gets near my mouth.

Just got home from Costco and they had plenty of Chobani in fridge. I was really surprised to see it for sale, but maybe it's not all types of Chobani?

It's only certain lots. They probably have more than one production facility, and maybe not all are affected.

Stop ruining my "The Exorcist" image of you laying in bed vomiting Greek yogurt. LOL.

I'll eat frozen yogurt in the summertime, but that's about the extent of that.

This article says it is a mold that was detected in the yogurt, that it should not grow unless kept unrefrigerated and it should not cause health problems in most people. I wonder if that man's child has a mold allergy? Or is just sick from something else.

Yeah, I had a four pack of the vanilla from that plant- I ate 3 out of 4,because I bought them almost two weeks ago. I noticed it tasted off, but I hadn't bought Chobani for a while (been with cheaper stuff), so I figured it was just that. Note to self: if it reminds you of the taste of rising bread dough and isn't dough, don't eat it.

I didn't get sick, except for one evening of um, well, gastrointestinal distress, which I didn't attribute to the yogurt until now. But the one remaining container I just threw away was visibly bloated and had broken the lid seal, and my yogurt was only unrefrigerated from the time I pulled it from the case at the store until I got home.

Checked when I got home. Ours was one of the recalled lots. I am never going to get that child to stop eating that sugary Gogurt crap now.

I LOVE Greek yogurt and eat it every day. The extra protein is worth the calories. Just some suggestions...

The 2% plain Fage is fabulous, but I grew up eating home made yogurt that tasted like that. YMMV. I find the non fat is really, really sour & I cannot stand it. Might substitute for sour cream.

Greek Gods yogurt is really, really yummy. I usually eat plain or honey flavored yogurt with a spoon of cherry preserves or no-sugar fruit jam on top. Delish!

And if you want a yogurt that is as sinful as ice cream and just as good, check out Noosa. It is addictive & amazing! Peach and strawberry-rhubarb flavors are my favorites. They makes lots of flavors. the fruit is a dollop at the bottom, not mixed through. Definitely worth the calories as an occasional treat.

Hmm, I find this interesting. I remember a few times last year getting some Chobani yogurt and it seeming a little funny to me. I figured it was probably just how the yogurt was so I brushed it off. I guess I will be trying some other Greek yogurt. I actually like it. It was an acquired taste for me. I believe I've had some Oikos yogurt by Dannon. It was pretty good and only a dollar. Haha.

I only use Greek yogurt in cooking, I find I can't stand the sour aftertaste when eating it plain--but for substitutions for cream/sour cream? Perfect

Oikos is fake greek yogurt.

ETA: I take that back. Oikos is real, but has thickeners when flavored. Yoplait, Lucerne and Cabot ARE fake. They rely on chemical thickeners rather than straining the yogurt to get the correct consistency. It's an expensive, time consuming technique.

Lovelovelove Greek yogurt. Eat is for breakfast a lot with some fruit or sugarfree muesli. I don't like honey so I"ll east it plain most of the time. I think the fruit flavors are usually very chemical tasting or sugary, and the vanilla one is just... yuck.
I'll stick to the natural one.

Oh, this is interesting to know! This is what's so difficult about wanting to eat healthy: so many imitations. :( I've been trying to change my diet to be more healthy so I'm going to have to find a real quality Greek yogurt!
