The recall applies to popular flavoured products, including Vanilla, Strawberry and Passionfruit, sold nationally through **Woolworths**, **Coles **and **IGA **supermarkets.  Customers should check the best before dates listed on the [**Food Standards Australia New Zealand (FSANZ) recall notice**](https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/food-recalls/recall-alert/updated-22082025-cocobella-cocobella-coconut-yoghurt-products-various) to confirm if their product is affected. ## Why has Cocobella yoghurt been recalled? Although Cocobella markets its yoghurt as dairy-free, testing identified the unexpected presence of milk protein. This triggered a recall under the **Food Standards Code**, which requires accurate labelling of all allergens.  Even small amounts of undeclared milk can be dangerous for individuals with a milk allergy or intolerance, prompting urgent action to remove products from sale. ## Risks of undeclared milk allergens Milk is one of the [**most common allergens in Australia**](https://blog.foodsafety.com.au/top-10-most-common-food-allergies). For those with allergies or severe intolerances, exposure can lead to symptoms such as hives, stomach upset, difficulty breathing or even life-threatening anaphylaxis.  Many consumers choose dairy-free alternatives specifically to avoid such risks, making undeclared allergens particularly concerning. ## What should you do if you purchased Cocobella yoghurt? If you have purchased Cocobella yoghurt: - Do not eat the affected products - Return them to your retailer (Woolworths, Coles or IGA) for a full refund - Seek medical advice if you experience an allergic reaction Full details, including batch numbers and best before dates, can be found on the [**FSANZ food recall database**](https://www.foodstandards.gov.au/food-recalls). ## Lessons for food businesses Food recalls like this are a reminder of how critical allergen management is in food production and service. Cross-contamination, mislabelling or inadequate testing can put consumers at risk and damage trust in a brand. [**Training staff in allergen management**](https://www.foodsafety.com.au/courses/food-allergen-management) and maintaining robust testing protocols are essential steps for reducing risk. For food businesses, the key to [**managing a food recall**](https://blog.foodsafety.com.au/food-handler-course-faqs-managing-food-recalls) is training, vigilance and compliance.
