The Simple Reason Jamie Lee Curtis Did Those Activia Commercials
The Simple Reason Jamie Lee Curtis Did Those Activia Commercials originally appeared on Parade. is celebrated for her incredible acting talent, but some may know her from the memorable series of Activia commercials throughout the early 2000s. In a candid conversation at Amazon Port during Cannes Lions 2025, Curtis, 66, explained that she didn't initially see herself becoming the face of Dannon's Activia brand, known for its probiotic benefits — and well, for the 'yogurt that makes you s**t,' as Curtis put it. Her decision, however, had everything to do with her desire to stay close to her first child, Annie: 'I was trying to stay home with my kid.' 'I sold yogurt that makes you s**t for six years and I won an Oscar,' the actress bluntly said, noting that today, being in ads while maintaining a flourishing acting career is not only acceptable but expected. 'I believe that that crossover has now happened. We can advertise and pretend simultaneously. There has been a paradigm shift in the way we as consumers take on our content and there is no stigma anymore,' the Freaky Friday star said. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Despite her commercial success, Curtis is passionate about authenticity. In the same conversation, she criticized the pressures of the cosmeceutical industry on young women, calling out the 'disfiguring' effects of plastic surgery. 'There is a problem today and the cosmeceutical industry is disfiguring entire generations of beautiful young women who need nothing except some sunblock,' she stated. Curtis also admitted that she never intended to be an actor. 'I got 840 combined on my SATs. I was gonna be a cop. Honestly I thought I was gonna be a police officer,' she revealed. Her career started with a chance encounter that led her to the Nancy Drew audition, and though she didn't land the role, she eventually found her footing in Hollywood and beyond—like those yogurt commercials.

Popular yogurt recalled over possible choking hazard
A popular yogurt brand has issued a voluntary recall due to the potential presence of plastic pieces. Danone U.S. recalled all of its YoCrunch products currently available on the market Friday after customers reported plastic pieces in the dome toppers, which hold various sweet treats such as Oreos or M&M's. Sharp-edged plastic pieces could be a choking hazard or pose other risks. The recall does not apply to the yogurt itself, but only to the yogurt topping container. Many lot numbers and expiration dates are involved in the recall, spanning from July 7 through September 4. The full list of affected products can be found here. No injuries or illnesses have currently been reported, and Danone is working alongside the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). There are currently no reported illnesses or injuries (YoCrunch) 'The company is working swiftly with retail partners to remove the impacted product from shelves, while it works to address the issue and bring back the YoCrunch products so many people enjoy,' the company said in a press release. Customers who have purchased any of the recalled products are urged not to consume them and to contact YoCrunch's Customer Care Line using the phone number 1-877-344-4886. The news of the yogurt's recall comes after Hartford Bakery Inc. recalled its Lewis Bake Shop Artisan Style half-loaf bread after an internal packaging error resulted in visible hazelnuts, an undeclared allergen, in some loaves. About 883 units from six production lots were mistakenly wrapped and labeled merely as 'May Contain Tree Nuts,' without specifying hazelnuts. The contamination stems from a packaging changeover from a hazelnut-containing bread batch to the white loaf variant, the company said. The recalled bread was distributed across 12 states, including Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, Missouri, Alabama, and Mississippi. The bread is packaged in a flexible plastic bag and can be identified by lot codes T10 174010206, T10 174010306, T10 174010406, T10 174020206, T10 174020306, and T10 174020406, which appear on the front panel. The packaging also includes a net weight of 12 oz, a UPC of 24126018152 on the bottom, and an expiration date of 07/13/2025 displayed on the front panel. The last two years have seen an alarming and unexplained rise in recalls. In 2024, approximately 300 food recalls were issued, with those recalls being linked to nearly 1,400 illnesses, a Public Interest Research Group report revealed. Out of the 1,400 illnesses, 487 people became sick enough to require hospitalization, and 19 people died. While those numbers are still low when weighed against the entire U.S. population, they are also double the number of hospitalizations and deaths from foodborne illnesses in 2023.

Yogurt products voluntarily recalled due to possible plastic contamination
Danone U.S. is voluntarily recalling 17 varieties of YoCrunch yogurt sold nationwide "due to the potential presence of plastic pieces in the dome topper," the company said this week. In a company announcement shared on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website Monday, Danone U.S. said it initiated the recall in cooperation with the FDA on July 11, 2025, after consumers "reported the presence of plastic pieces in the toppers, which have the potential to cause choking." The products come in two adjoining containers, a base filled with yogurt and a separately sealed topper with various add-ins like Oreo pieces, mini M&M's candies, Snickers and Twix. The transparent plastic pieces may have sharp edges, which Danone U.S. said "could present a risk to consumers because some pieces are between 7 and 25 mm in length." "The issue is isolated only to the separately packaged topper and does not impact the separately packaged yogurt," the company said, noting that the recall applies to "all flavors and sizes of YoCrunch products currently inmarket." A full list of impacted products, including lot numbers and expiration dates, can be found here. Danone U.S. said it is "working swiftly with retail partners to remove the impacted product from shelves, while it works to address the issue and bring back the YoCrunch products so many people enjoy." Customers who purchased the recalled YoCrunch products have been urged to not consume them and to contact the company's consumer care line at (877) 344-4886, Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. ET, for questions and refund information. In a statement to ABC News on Wednesday, Danone U.S. said, "We take every consumer experience seriously and are issuing this voluntary recall in line with Danone's commitment to product quality and consumer safety."
