Danone Canada is recalling a brand of yogurt sold at Costco warehouses this month, the company said in a press release.

The recall relates to Kirkland Signature Probiotic Yogurt (Costco Item 1264134), which was sold at Costco between Sept. 3 and Sept. 19, the company said.

The affected products are identified by three applicable “best before” dates – Oct. 18, Oct. 20, Oct. 22. The yogurt was sold in packs of 24.

The company said customers should not consume the affected product and bring them to a Costco warehouse for a full refund on the return.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and ask you to please pass this letter along to anyone to whom Kirkland Signature Probiotic Yogurt may have been given,” the company said.

This is the second such recall issued by the company just this month.

The previous recall was issued on Sept. 12 and pertained to the 24 pack of Kirkland Signature brand Greek Yogurt, after a mould was detected.
