Chobani

Chobani, producer of Greek yogurt and important local employer, is being dropped by Whole Foods, the large US supermarket chain which focuses on health foods. At issue is the problem of GMOs, genetically modified organisms, being included in food labeling...

ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) — Yogurt manufacturer Chobani and Cornell University are joining forces to establish a research and training program that will promote innovation in dairy and food science.

It took roughly a half hour for Norwich firefighters to extinguish a fire at the Chobani corporate office building in the town of Norwich.

State Senator James Seward has announced his support for a full New York State Department of Transportation study of traffic safety issues along State Route 8 in Chenango County approaching the Chobani yogurt plant.

Fresh off being named Ernst & Young's World Entrepreneur of the Year, Chobani founder and CEO Hamdi Ulukaya got some more good news this week. His company is growing at the same rate as Facebook and Google did in their infancy.

What started in central New York just a few years ago is now one of the biggest and best things going on the planet.

Otsego County officials have set up a meeting for later this month with Chobani and State Department of Transportation officials. This was arranged after complaints by South Edmeston residents of speeding trucks and roadside litter.

Chobani is asking for more water. The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) has a hearing scheduled for the afternoon of May 23 in Harrisburg Pennsylvania to take public comments on Chobani's application to withdraw up to 1.3 million gallons of water per day from local aquifers.

Chobani debuted several new commercials during the 2013 Academy Awards. Watch them all below:
