Hey friends! So, there’s some concerning news regarding baby food that we need to share. Target has issued a recall for over 25,000 jars of their Good & Gather baby food due to elevated levels of lead. This recall is important to know about if you’re a parent or caregiver.
The specific products are 4-ounce jars of Good & Gather vegetable puree that includes pea, zucchini, kale, and thyme. These items were sold in Target stores nationwide, and the recall was officially issued back in March. If you have any jars with the lot numbers 4169 or 4167—usually found near the expiration date or barcode—you should toss them out or reach out to Target for a refund. You can’t be too careful with what we feed our little ones!
A spokesperson from Target mentioned, “At Target, we’re committed to providing safe, high-quality products for our guests. We require our suppliers to comply with all applicable food safety standards and federal, state, and local regulations.” They assured customers that they acted promptly to remove the affected products from store shelves.
