The National Consumer Commissioner (NCC) has announced the recall of selected SPAR yoghurt products which may make consumers ill. 

The NCC has confirmed the recall comes after it was notified by SPAR regarding the products. 

The recall affects SPAR Fat Free Yoghurt, Low Fat Yoghurt, Double Cream Yoghurt, Indulge Double Cream Yoghurt and SPAR Active Drinking Yoghurt products.

According to the NCC’s spokesperson, Pheto Ntaba, the affected products have a sell-by date of August 9, 2026,  and a use-by date of August 12, 2026. 

These products were sold nationally through SPAR stores from June 15, 2026.

“SPAR informed the NCC that the recall is due to a machine malfunction during production, resulting in product blowing. This may cause changes in the product’s taste, smell, and appearance. Consumption of the affected products may cause stomach upset,” Ntaba said. 

Consumers who have purchased any of the affected products should not consume them. They are advised to return the products to their nearest SPAR store for a full refund or exchange. 

The NCC encourages all consumers to respond promptly to product safety recalls.
