Target Corp. has initiated a recall of over 25,600 units of its Good & Gather brand baby food due to potential contamination with elevated levels of lead. The affected product, Baby Pea, Zucchini, Kale & Thyme Vegetable Puree, was sold in 4-ounce tubs and manufactured by Miami-based Fruselva. The recall was issued on March 12 and affects products with lot numbers 4167 and 4169, with best-by dates of December 7 and December 9, respectively. The product, bearing UPC code 1 91907-99314 1 and labeled as 'Product of Colombia,' was intended for babies 6 months and older. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) classified this recall as Class II on April 3, indicating that while the products are unlikely to cause serious harm, they could result in temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) emphasizes that there is no safe level of lead exposure for children, which can lead to developmental and cognitive issues. Target has taken immediate action to remove the affected products from its shelves and is offering full refunds to customers who purchased the recalled items. Consumers are advised not to feed the recalled baby food to children and to contact Target Guest Relations or visit a store for a refund.
