If you’ve picked up baby food at Target lately, it might be time to check your pantry. More than 25,000 units of Target brand Good & Gather Baby Pea, Zucchini, Kale, & Thyme Vegetable Purée are being voluntarily recalled because of elevated levels of lead. The product is sold as 4-ounce tubs in Target stores nationwide, and is currently the only Good & Gather baby food puree being recalled. While the Food and Drug Administration has not formally announced this recall, it has since labeled it as a Class II event, meaning that consuming or being exposed to the product may cause temporary or reversible health effects; however, the risk of serious health consequences is low. Parents of children ages 6 months and older should review any baby food purchases made at Target to ensure they are not part of the recall.
Why Is This a Concern?
Good & Gather is a popular choice among parents seeking a widely available and lower-cost alternative to premium baby food brands. That’s why this recall raises concerns for many families who trust and rely on this brand daily. Babies and young children are especially vulnerable to even small amounts of lead exposure. Chronic exposure can lead to learning disabilities, developmental delays, and lower IQ scores in children.
