Publix Recalls Baby Food Over Lead Contamination
Publix voluntarily recalled its Greenwise Pear, Kiwi, Spinach & Pea Baby Food pouches due to elevated lead levels exceeding the FDA’s 10 parts per billion limit. The recall, encompassing pouches produced by Bowman Andros and sold in eight states, followed routine testing by North Carolina officials revealing 13.4 parts per billion of lead. All affected products have been removed from shelves, and customers can receive full refunds. This recall follows a similar incident involving Target baby food earlier this year, highlighting ongoing concerns about lead contamination in baby food products. No illnesses have been reported in connection with the Publix recall.
