Target Recalls Over 25,000 Baby Food Containers for Lead

Target has recalled over 25,000 containers of its Good & Gather Baby Pea, Zucchini, Kale & Thyme Vegetable Puree due to elevated levels of lead. The recall, initiated by Miami-based Fruselva and classified as Class II, affects products sold in 4-ounce tubs with specific lot numbers and best-by dates. Parents are urged to check their pantries and discard these products, as lead exposure poses serious health risks to children, including developmental and cognitive issues. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention emphasizes that there is no safe level of lead exposure for children. While the affected products have been removed from store shelves, health officials warn of the potential for temporary or reversible health problems. Consumers are advised to either return the recalled products to the store or dispose of them immediately.
