Chobani Bite 0% Non-Fat Greek Yogurt is being recalled because of reported illnesses and bloated packaging. Consumers should check their pantries for affected units.

The agency’s classification

FDA (Food): Class II

Class II is a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote.

This is the agency’s own classification, taken from its notice. The severity score below is our assessment, not the agency’s. How recall classes work

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The source text explicitly states that the recall is due to 'report of illnesses,' which aligns with the rubric criterion for FDA Class II recalls with hospitalization or illness reports, warranting a 'Severe' classification.
