Publix recalls baby food pouches after testing finds elevated levels of lead
- On May 9, Publix voluntarily pulled certain baby food pouches containing fruit and vegetable ingredients from more than 1,400 stores across eight states after tests revealed high lead content.
- The recall was initiated after officials in North Carolina detected possible contamination following an incident in 2023 where over 500 children in the U.S. Fell ill due to lead exposure from contaminated applesauce pouches.
- Routine analysis revealed that the concentration of lead in the baby food pouches was 13.4 parts per billion, surpassing the FDA’s safety threshold of 10 parts per billion for items intended for infants and young children.
- This recent baby food pouch recall comes just two months after Target withdrew over 25,000 vegetable puree packages linked to 566 cases of lead poisoning across 44 states.
- Since lead is toxic at any level and especially harmful to children’s brain development, the removal of products highlights ongoing public health concerns about lead in baby foods.
