    Interesting!! I had some of these, chobani tubes that were swollen and some cups that tasted weird. I threw them out and wrote to the company. They sent me coupons for free replacements.

    The last few Chobani yogurts I have purchased were soupy/runny - I quit buying it. Switched to Oikos and Voskos; the consistency is like night and day. Won't be going back to Chobani any time soon.

    I checked my Chobani yogurt cups, no puffy lids and no 16-12 numbers on them, so I feel pretty secure that the 10 cups I've got are all good.

    I've only once had a problem with their yogurt, and that was my own fault for not checking the expiration dates when I picked them out at the supermarket. Our supermarket is not the best at pulling expired items off the shelves, so while it was the store's fault for still selling them, it was my own fault for not checking the date before purchasing them.

    Gross. I just ate one this morning that I thought was weird. It was a flavor I hadn't tried before (Orange & Vanilla) and it was soupy and strange.

    I prefer Dannon Light and Fit - good protein and only 80 calories. Very yummy too! :o)

    Hmm, interesting. I'm not sure if my experience was related to these product, but I have run into Chobani yogurts that were especially runny, and were way soupier than even regular yogurt - I had blamed it on the type of flavor and just didn't get that flavor again. I have better luck with our store brand (Meijer).

    Yeah, I had one of these in my fridge yesterday. I'm thinking of switching to oikos or another brand for a while, which makes me sad because I love chobani flips and no other brand makes them.

    You would know it if you ate a bad one. They tasted really weird, like "zingy". My daughter ate one and said it tasted "spicy". None of us got sick, by the way.

    Spicy yogurt is not what I look for in a yogurt :frown:

    I had a couple too. Thought it was weird that the lids were swollen like that and figured they were bad... Opened one out of curiosity and it poofed in my face. Gross. :sick: Lesson learned. (No wonder the store had them on sale for $1....:huh: )

    Personally if any of my yogurts (greek or not) have a swollen lid, I don't open it! That's not right for ANY yogurt product. Also, stores around here very frequently have them on sale for $1 or less! So that doesn't indicate an old product. I only eat the Chobani Pineapple and haven't had any issues at all.

    Thanks for the heads up though!

    If ANY food has a swollen lid, it's gone bad.

    All the more reason not to buy/eat food at all. Maybe it's time to consider breatharianism?

    I like the one where you absorb the rays of the sun for an hour each day, but only at sunrise and sunset. Humans only need Vitamin D, don't cha know.

    Thanks for posting this! I checked mine and they aren't effected, thank goodness Chobani has great yogurt and is a good company. Things like this could happen in a lot of places. I'm glad they are helping everyone within 24 hours that contacts them regarding this.

    With all the polution in the air? No thanks.

    Personally, I'm going to stick to the diet my mother had. Eat only what comes out of a packet, preferably things that don't resemble real food in any way, topped up with gallons of vodka and vitamin pills. She lived to 80*




    *was about 200 lbs overweight, an alcoholic and died of cardiac arrest following her second stroke, not to mention being those most bitter and twisted woman I have ever met.

    Bump so I can check mine when I get home. We have a couple in the fridge that have swollen lids. I blamed this on the store and not the yogurt since I've gotten some bad stuff from there recently.

    Thanks for posting.

    Word. If only starving people around the world would focus their energies on obtaining nutrients from the sun, they would be nourished and healthy! They're obviously just unenlightened.

    Chobani is available at costco for less than $1 apiece every time we go ($12 for a 15-pack with 5 each of 3 flavors), and we've never had a puffy or funny tasting one. Also, you get 10% more per individual carton (6oz versus 5.4oz) than you do with Oikos. I tried the Dannon Light & fit ones, but I don't like the overly sweet sucralose taste.

    good info to have, for sure... but a bad batch or two out of thousands isn't going to sway me from them. Especially since the symptoms of the bad batch are ones that would make me toss the container anyway.

    I checked my Chobani yogurt cups, no puffy lids and no 16-12 numbers on them, so I feel pretty secure that the 10 cups I've got are all good.

    I've only once had a problem with their yogurt, and that was my own fault for not checking the expiration dates when I picked them out at the supermarket. Our supermarket is not the best at pulling expired items off the shelves, so while it was the store's fault for still selling them, it was my own fault for not checking the date before purchasing them.

    call the health department an report it. They are really strict about this stuff and the store and whoever checks it will get investigated. We used to get visits often because people reported us all the time. (we were really good about pulling product off the shelves though, just people looking to sue cause of where i worked.)

    ps. I LOVE chobani. I am upset because I am out of it.

    Bummer ........ at a convenience store I ate one that wasn't that cold and was soupy/already mixed (I mentioned it a week ago in another thread).

    I buy them at Costco, no weird lids. I am going to keep eating them, they appear (i hope) to be doing the right thing.

    Does anyone know if this is a worldwide recall or a US one only?? :huh:

    I'm in the UK.

    Just come home from shopping and bought 5 as they were on offer in Tesco and it's hard enough to get hold of them as not all supermarkets stock them. None of the lids look puppy and I just had one which was perfect.
