Target Baby Food Recalled: Lead Contamination Sparks Outrage and Regulatory Debate
Fruselva, a Miami-based company, initiated a Class II recall of over 25,000 Target’s Good & Gather Baby Pea, Zucchini, Kale & Thyme Vegetable Puree (4-ounce tubs) due to potentially elevated lead levels. Affected tubs bear lot numbers 4167 (best-by Dec. 7) and 4169 (best-by Dec. 9). Consumers are urged to immediately discontinue use of these products, as lead exposure poses significant developmental risks to infants. While the recall is classified as Class II, indicating a low likelihood of serious harm, the CDC emphasizes that no level of lead exposure is safe for children.
