Dannon's decision to discontinue its coffee-flavored yogurt in April has ignited a wave of customer discontent, leading to a petition with nearly 990 signatures urging the company to reinstate the product. Fans describe the yogurt as a "delightful blend of rich coffee flavor and creamy yogurt" with 32 milligrams of caffeine, a unique offering that satisfied cravings without the guilt.
Disappointed consumers voiced their frustration on social media and on the petition, arguing that the move failed to consider the loyal customer base. Many noted that options for coffee-flavored yogurt are scarce, making the discontinuation particularly impactful. Customers have reported difficulty finding alternatives, with some resorting to mixing instant coffee with vanilla yogurt, a substitute they say does not replicate the original taste.
One petition supporter shared that the coffee yogurt was a staple for their family, especially for a mother who can only consume soft foods. "Coffee yogurt was her go-to every morning, and no other brands make a coffee yogurt like Dannon," the comment reads, highlighting the product's specific appeal.
Another long-time consumer, who claims to have been a "daily DCY consumer addict of over 40 years," expressed the lengths they went to secure the yogurt as supplies dwindled. This included purchasing multiple cases at once, contacting grocers for special orders, and traveling to find remaining stock. The user noted that the product has been missed by many.
Customers have been directed to contact Dannon's parent company, Danone, for comment, and can also reach out to Dannon's Customer Support at 877-326-6668 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. EST.
