Chobani is removing some of its Greek yogurt cups from stores after reports of "swelling or bloating" present in the product.

According to Chobani, a common dairy mold was found in its yogurt and may be causing the suspicious appearance.

According to Amy Juaristi, a Chobani spokeswoman, the damaged yogurt are only those made in one of Chobani's facilities in Idaho. The recalled products are only five percent of Chobani's overall production. Chobani is working with its retailers to eliminate certain yogurts from grocery shelves. These cups are those labeled with the code 16-012 and those whose expiration dates range from Sept. 11 to Oct. 7. Chobani has not yet stated how many cups or varieties have been contaminated.

Also not made clear by Chobani is what areas of the United States received the inferior yogurt cups.

The removal of the yogurt is not a formal recall as Chobani's decision is voluntary. Chobani began the withdrawal this past Friday. The company has yet to say how the mishap occurred.

"It was not a food safety issue, Keith Dailey, a spokesman for Kroger, the United States' biggest traditional supermarket operator, said.

On Tuesday, some Chobani eaters complained about the yogurts quality on Twitter.

According to one Twitter user, the Chobani yogurt was "unnervingly fizzy." Another person tweeted that the Chobani yogurt seemed "really old." Meanwhile, a third tweeter reported that their Chobani was similar to "yogurt soup" and featured the taste of "wine."

The yogurt company also received many complaints via Facebook, but many of those complaints were deleted.

Chobani, which is based in new Berlin, N.Y., says that it only uses high-quality natural ingredients.

The Greek yogurt company urges its consumers to reach out to its customer service department at care@chobabi.com in order to receive reimbursement products.

Chobani was founded in 2005 and has enjoyed rapid growth since. According to S&P Capital, the company made $244 million in revenue in 2010.

The popularity of Chobani is connected to the increasing popularity of Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt is praised for its thick texture. It also has more protein than non-Greek yogurt varieties that have dominated United States' supermarkets for years.
