Is Yogos Discontinued? What Happened?

2005–2010 Food/CPG • United States

Fate: Kellogg's stopped making Yogos around 2009 or 2010. Fans started an online petition to bring them back and got over 100,000 signatures, but Kellogg's has not brought them back.

Yogos were a snack made by Kellogg's that came out around 2005. Each piece was a small chewy fruit center with a sweet yogurt-flavored coating on the outside. They came in small single-serve pouches that were easy to bring to school or toss in a bag.

Kids liked them a lot. The coating had a slightly tangy flavor and the inside was chewy and fruity. They came in different fruit flavors and the colorful pouches were a common sight in lunchboxes across the country.

Kellogg's later made a version called Yogos Bits, which were smaller and rounder than the originals. A lot of people who remember Yogos say the Bits were their favorite version.

Sometime around 2009 or 2010, Kellogg's stopped selling Yogos in the U.S. Kellogg's never gave a public explanation. Companies sometimes cut products from their lineup when sales slow down or when they want to focus on other things. Whatever the reason, Yogos disappeared from store shelves pretty quickly.

Fans who grew up eating them were not happy about it. Someone started a petition on Change.org asking Kellogg's to bring Yogos back. More than 100,000 people signed it. As of now, Kellogg's has not announced any plans to bring Yogos back, but the petition is still there if you want to add your name.
