Many consumers want to know if there is a Chobani recall in 2025, particularly over concerns that the yogurt could contain plastic chemicals. The popular brand has been under fire by allegations that the yogurt contains a class of chemicals called phthalates (pronounced THAL-ates), which is commonly used to make plastics more flexible and durable. Many phthalates are known to be endocrine disruptors and regular exposure to them “can adversely affect multiple organ systems, as well as reproductive health, and child development,” according to WebMD. This comes amid growing concerns about microplastics and plasticizers in everyday food products.
Is Chobani facing a recall in 2025?
No, Chobani is not facing a recall over plastics in 2025. However, the company is facing a class-action lawsuit filed in April 2025 alleging that its yogurt contains man-made plastic chemicals.
The 26-page Chobani lawsuit brought by plaintiff Amy Wysocki in California alleges that the company’s products say that it has “only natural ingredients” on their container cups, but that third-party testing confirming the existence of phthalates in the yogurt contradicts this. This “third-party testing” refers to a consumer report created by independent research group PlasticList in December 2024, which tested everyday foods for the presence of plastic-related chemicals.
“At least one of the 18 chemicals was found in every baby food, prenatal supplement, human breast milk, yogurt, and ice cream product that we tested,” the report reads. “We also found plastic chemicals in all the products we tested from Starbucks, Gerber, Chobani, Straus, Celsius, Blue Bottle, RXBAR, Coca-Cola, Tartine, and Ghirardelli.”
The lawsuit alleges that the phthalates detected in the Chobani yogurt comes from its plastic containers and that the chemicals leached into the yogurt over time.
In response, Chobani says the court previously indicated that it would dismiss the case in a formal order, per Snopes. A statement from the company reads, “Chobani has moved to dismiss the allegations raised by plaintiff Wysocki as they lack merit.”
No regulatory agency has confirmed the presence of phthalates in its products.
In late October, a popular pork product was recalled by the FDA over plastic contamination.
