Yoplait Yogurt Warning

[tee]

I have a Yoplait drinkable yogurt for breakfast every morning. I have noticed that over the last couple of weeks that the top of the bottle, around the rim, it is covered in old stale yogurt. Obviously they have their bottling process wrong and excess yogurt is covering the rim area. This can be very dangerous as the general purpose for drinkable yogurts are to drink straight from the bottle and there is a potential for salmonella. The yogurt itself inside the bottle is perfectly fine but if you smell around the rim of the bottle it stinks.
Be very wary when letting your kids drink out of yogurt bottles. I have purchased yogurts from different supermarkets and it is the same issue.

Use a straw. Never put your lips on the bottle.

I often buy the drinkable yogurt for breakfast in D.R. when I've had my fill of tres golpes. Does the label indicate where it's packaged? I don't recall the brand I buy but it's not Yoplait. I think it's Rica or another local brand. I buy local brands to support the local economy, not because I'm cheap.
Okay, it's because I'm cheap.

I always buy Yoka brand Blueberry yogurt with 0 sugar. The label is dark blue. They also have a blueberry with a white label but it has sugar added.

I haven't checked the packaging but think that it is bottled and packaged here by Sigma Alimentos. They are a large Mexican company and have factories in Santo Domingo, Santiago and here in Sosua.

I worked in enough delis as a kid to know to NEVER put my mouth on a can, but I never really checked around the lid of a yogurt or similar container. If the yogurt is stale and dried out around the rim of the container AND it smells, it makes me wonder if it might also be old and/or stored improperly in addition to being packaged improperly.

why would you put anything in your body that may give you salmonella or get you sick ? stay away from the junk....

Unless the stuff at the top is pink, the yogurt is fine. The ring is nothing to be afraid of. It's the same as when yogurt (not Yoplait) displays liquid on top. It's just what happens when the cultures separate.

I worked in a supermarket through high school and college. There is also the possibility that one or more containers in the case broke between the factory and the supermarket, and the person stocking shelves never cleaned the other bottles of yogurt. Some of the broken contents may have remained on yours, or it was never cleaned properly. We were never sure if we should blame the people loading the truck, or the person driving the truck.
