Target baby food is recalled over lead contamination
[April 16, 2025]
A company that makes baby food sold under a Target store brand is
recalling more than 25,000 packages of a product because it may contain
elevated levels of lead.
Miami-based Fruselva issued the recall in March for Target's Good &
Gather Baby Pea, Zucchini, Kale & Thyme Vegetable Puree, sold in 4-ounce
tubs, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The packages include lot number 4167, with a best-by date of Dec. 7, and
lot number 4169, with a best-by date of Dec. 9.
Consumers should not feed babies the products.
The recall is listed as Class II, which means the products are unlikely
to cause serious harm, but still have the potential to result in
temporary or reversible problems.

 There is no safe level of exposure
to lead for children, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention. Exposure to the heavy metal can cause
developmental and cognitive problems.
