The company stated: “The decision follows the identification of a fault with a roller supporting belts used to transport fruit in the factory.
“The roller was misaligned potentially causing small pieces of metal to drop into the fruit.”
It added that it found no metal in samples of the affected batches but is urging customers to return the yogurts as a “precautionary measure”.
The products affected are largely from the dairy company’s fruit corner range, including cherry, and blackberry and raspberry six packs, with use by dates of March 4, 2020.
Other varieties affected include Mullerlight six-packs in strawberry, cherry, and raspberry and cranberry with best before dates of March 7, 2020.

A statement from the Food Standards Agency said: “If you have bought any of the above products, do not eat them.
“Instead, return them to the store from where they were bought for a full refund.”
