Costco Canada announced on Tuesday that it is removing two Greek Gods yogurt products from all its locations after a potential mould issue was identified.
Recall details
The items affected are the Honey Yogurt and Organic Yogurt Plain sold in two 650 gram containers. Both products are owned by Hain Celestial, the U.S. company that markets the Greek Gods brand.
Customers who bought the yogurts at any Costco warehouse or Costco Business Centre between June and August this year are advised not to eat, serve, sell or give away the items. The recall covers batches with best before dates from 1 August to 15 September 2026 for the honey‑flavoured version and from 9 August to 13 September 2026 for the plain organic version.
Consumers can return the products to any Costco location for a full refund.
Regulatory context
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has been notified of the recall and will monitor the situation to ensure compliance with national food‑safety standards. The agency's involvement underscores the importance of cross‑border coordination, as the yogurt is produced by a U.S. firm but sold to Canadian shoppers.
Food‑safety officials say the recall does not appear to be linked to a broader contamination event, but they urge shoppers to check their freezers for the affected lot numbers and to follow the retailer's return instructions.
Costco's swift action reflects its policy of removing potentially unsafe goods from the market, a practice that aligns with Canadian expectations for consumer protection and supply‑chain transparency.
