They are also suspending the sale of Danone Bene Gastro and Danone Natural yogurts, as they contain excess sugar, or do not meet the minimum milk content.
The main irregularities detected by the Ministry of Economy in the brands of cheese and yogurt were the following.
- They use vegetable fat instead of milk.
- They do not show on the main surface of the packaging that they use caseinates for cheese.
- Their products have a lower weight than they say.
