How do you like your Greek yogurt? Maybe with some fresh berries and a little granola? I know how you don't like it: "fizzing." I'm also sure you don't want it to taste "really old" or look as though it's "swelling or bloating" in the cup. Greek yogurt honcho Chobani is in the process of pulling some of its products from supermarket shelves after customers recently complained of all of those above issues. According to the company, a type of mold commonly found in dairy may be to blame.

Is it a complete Chobani recall? No, not quite. The effort is voluntary and preventive, and they are not issuing a formal recall.

Regardless, I know you don't wanna be eating bad yogurt, right? So -- here's everything you need to know about Chobani's yogurt fiasco:

Cups with the code 16-012 and expiration dates between September 11, 2013 and October 7, 2013 are affected. The company isn't revealing what states these items went to or which products are affected, only that the bad batch was made in its Idaho facility and represents less than 5 percent of its total population.

DH and I both eat chobani every morning. The ones we're eating this week do not have that code, and have a later expiration date. I didn't notice any of those odd features about my yogurt the last couple of weeks, so hopefully we're good.

My mom buys the chobani in the tubes for my third grade sister's lunches. She opened them the other day and three of the tubes were inflated with air the saw way. She called Chobani and asked about it and they sent her coupons for four free boxes.

My kids and i love our chobani. I bought some yo plait recently and it was disgusting compared. I have had a pineapple chobani go bad before its expiration date. It had the fizzing, swelling thing going on. I avoided that flavor for a while but we get it again now. Thanks for the info!
