Publix Recalls Baby Food over Possible Lead Contamination

In May 2025, Publix voluntarily recalled its GreenWise baby food pouches containing pear, kiwi, spinach, and pea flavors, sold in stores across eight states, due to concerns over possible lead contamination.
The recall resulted from routine sampling that detected elevated lead levels, occurring amid ongoing nationwide concerns about heavy metals in baby food and recent FDA efforts to tighten oversight.
Bowman Andros LLC manufactured the recalled baby food, which was distributed in 4-ounce flexible packages at approximately 1,400 Publix stores located throughout Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, the Carolinas, Virginia, and Kentucky.
Publix announced that no illnesses linked to the product have been identified so far. Customers are advised to discontinue use and return the item to any store for a full refund, and any potentially affected products have been taken off the shelves.
This recall highlights ongoing challenges in addressing lead contamination in baby food, with experts warning low levels of lead can harm development, and advocacy continues for stronger safety measures.
