BOISE — Grocery stores in the Treasure Valley have pulled Chobani Greek yogurt from their shelves following what the company is refusing to call a recall.
A spot check of Albertson's, Fred Meyer and Winco stores in Boise on Saturday revealed those retailers have removed cups of Chobani yogurt from their refrigerator cases. Employees said they were removed over the past few days.
Chobani says the removal of its yogurt from retail stores does not involve a food safety problem. In a blog entry posted Saturday on the company's website, Chobani says it discovered a problem that causes its yogurt "to go bad before its time."
No listing for Chobani products was found on the FoodSafety.gov recall website operated by the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services. The website lists recalls and alerts from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
