The U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced the recall of 34,656 cups of WholeSoy & Co. blueberry yogurt because of a labeling error.
The yogurt might contain undeclared dairy products, thereby posing a risk of serious or life-threatening reactions for people allergic to such ingredients, the agency said.
The yogurt was distributed nationwide through retailers and has a "best by" date of June 22, with a UPC code of 664372600086. The containers are 6-ounce plastic yogurt cups.
Consumers with questions can contact the company at 877-569-6376.
