Stonyfield Farm yogurt recalled

Stonyfield Farm logoThis is not an April Fool's Day joke.

Stonyfield Farm has recalled several batches of its Fat Free Blueberry Yogurt because there might be glass or plastic fragments inside. It's the 6 ounce size.

You can return the yogurt to stores for a refund, and Stonyfield Farms is asking that all stores pull the produce from their shelves immediately. Here's the info on the recall, including code numbers and expiration dates you should look for.

Food Safety Terror Alert: Blue (for Stonyfield Farm Blueberry Yogurt)

tonyfield farm yogurtThis Week's Food Safety Terror Alert has gone a depressing shade of blue (which isn't even on the meter) for a voluntary recall by Stonyfield Farm of their 6-ounce cups of Stonyfield Organic Fat Free Blueberry Yogurt based on reports that customers have found plastic or glass fragments in the products.

The affected yogurts have codes printed along the cup bottom that start with the following dates:
  • Apr 13 08
  • Apr 14 08
  • Apr 15 08
  • April 25 08
  • Apr 26 08
If you have questions, you are advised to contact Stonyfield Farm Consumer Relations at 1-800-PRO-COWS or email crelations@Stonyfield.com.

Wal-Mart sued for incorrectly labeling organics

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. may be getting a little overzealous in its push to include more organic products on its shelves, according to the Cornucopia Institute. The group, which represents small farmers recently filed a complaint with the USDA alleging that the megadiscounter had falsely labeled some products as organic.

Cornucopia alleges that several Wal-Mart stores mislabeled Stonyfield Farm all-natural yogurt as organic. It also claims that nonorganic items like tofu and juice in a cooler used for organic produce. Wal-mart has countered these claims by noting that one of Cornucopia's founders, Mark Kastel, used to work for Organic Valley, a national farming cooperative that competes with several of the discounter's suppliers.

I'm not really a big buyer of organics and I'm not sure what to make of this case. I am pretty certain that I'd never buy anything labeled organic at Wal-Mart.

Drinking yogurt vs. eating yogurt

Stonyfield FarmTrue story: I've been buying a six pack of yogurt, sometimes the kind in the little cups you eat and sometimes the bottles you drink, every couple of weeks for the past three months and I haven't eaten/drank one of them. Not one. I don't know why. I get on these kicks where I say "I'm going to get healthier and get some low carb/low sugar yogurt and eat them for meals!" And then they just sit in the fridge for two weeks and expire so I have to throw them away.

Over at GQ.com, Alan Richman runs into a woman at the supermarket who insists that he's wasting time eating yogurt when he could be drinking it. So Richman decides to not only taste the little samples she has on her table but also does a little test at home: what's faster, eating a cup of yogurt or drinking a yogurt smoothie? Here are the results.
