Guys I wonder if Chobani controversy can include a lawsuit with Infowars host Alex Jones and a target of a boycott. In 2017 Chobani filed a lawsuit in an Idaho court against Alex Jones for $10,000 us dollars. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:640:C400:775B:0:0:0:2767 (talk) 18:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Media Matters is reporting that other Political bloggers have accused Chobani on similar allegations to Alex Jones.

Apparently Alex Jones is planning to go to Idaho to respond to the allegations against Chobani Yogurt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.86.96.188 (talk) 23:27, 26 April 2017 (UTC) .[reply]

Proposed Changes: 2013 Recall

Hi folks, I'm writing today on behalf of Chobani, where I'm employed as a Brand Voice. In the interest of avoiding a conflict of interest, we wanted to reach out to the community with our proposed edits to ensure they are agreeable and factually accurate. We are looking to update our page to provide more information on our company and the recent product recall. Please see below suggested edits, and corresponding references in support of what we are seeking to update.

I look forward to the community’s feedback and discussing further.

On September 3, 2013, Chobani pulled some of its Greek yogurt from supermarket shelves after hearing of "swelling or bloating" in cups. The company said it has investigated and found a type of mold commonly found in dairy that may be to blame.[1] Chobani officially announced it had moved to a voluntary recall on September 5, in cooperation with the FDA. [2] On September 9, the FDA reported at least 89 people have reported getting sick after eating the yogurt.[3]

Chobani, Brand Voice

Kurdish nationalism and Ulukaya

Please, Kurdish nationalists, is this man really going to be the source of your national pride? It is really so foolish. There are NO citations to him referencing his Kurdish identity that I can find, and the ones provided never mention the words "Kurd" or "Kurdish" or "Kurdistan" at all. Even worse, it was even claimed that "chobani" comes from the Kurdish (!) word for "shepherd". Do you even know Kurdish? Bi Kurdi em «şivan» dibêjin, «çoban» Tirkî ye. Tirkan ev peyv stand, ji zimanekî Êranî, lê ji Kurdî nayê. Ev mêr hişsivik û seksîst e, çima em ji wî ḧez bikin? Kapîtalîstekî qirêj e, lawo!

Notice how even when they subject is language he lists only Turkish and English: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHYABnK4Oho — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.125.227.60 (talk) 04:59, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Formula change.

I have recommended Chobani yogurt to many friends and told them how to compare it to other so-called "Greek yogurts": 1) Since Greek yogurt is naturally thick, Chobani has no thickeners, like pectin or gums. 2) Since Greek yogurt is naturally thick, it's protein gram content is in the 20s, unlike so-called-Greek-yogurts that have protein contents of about half of Chobani's.

Imagine my surprise when I recently looked at the labels again. Chobani now includes thickeners in their ingredients lists. They now have about half the amount of protein that they used to have. Obviously, they are no longer manufacturing their products in the original Greek way. When did this change occur? Since "Greek yogurt" is not defined in the USA's FDA, and any company can call their products "Greek yogurt", Chobani still calls their altered products "Greek yogurt". I am chagrined.

Here is an example of the black cherry flavor - ingredients and analysis - from Chobani's own website: http://www.chobani.com/products/fruit-on-the-bottom#black-cherry

I don't think Ulukaya is CEO of the company anymore. I think he was replaced by the company/group that bought the majority stake in Chobani. So probably when Ulukaya stopped being CEO. Softlavender (talk) 10:26, 28 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent name origin

Under the heading "History" the first sentence says: Ulukaya chose the name Chobani as a variation of the Turkish word çoban, itself derived from Albanian čoban meaning "shepherd".

The problem is that

(1) "čoban" starts with a letter "č" which does not exist in the Albanian language:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albanian_alphabet

(2) "shepard" means "bari" on Albanian:

https://browse.dict.cc/english-albanian/shepherd.html

A letter "č" exists in the Serbian language (Serbian latin alphabet):

http://serbian-dictionary.com/alphabet

I am not claiming that the origin of the word is Serbian even thou "čoban" means "shepherd" in Serbian. Serbs were long under Ottoman (Turkish) occupation. Who has influenced who is irrelevant for my objection that it cannot be Albanian. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.105.214.70 (talk) 12:21, 20 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
