Researchers at Duke University have found an extremely harmful form of fungus known as Mucor circinelloides on isolated samples of Chobani yogurt that was recalled after a number of reported illnesses.
Chobani issued a voluntary recall in September 2013, stopping distribution and removing products that originated from its Twin Falls, ID facility. The product shipped nationwide, but was pulled because of reports of bloating and swelling of the product, as well as illnesses associated with consumption.
