A popular children’s fruit pouch sold at Target and other stores nationwide is being recalled because of the possible presence of plastic.
PT Organics Limited of Lake Oswego, Oregon, voluntarily issued the recall of its Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics Banana & Strawberry 4 oz. pouches. According to the FDA, the recall stems from an “internal packaging defect that may result in the presence of a strand of soft, food-grade plastic in the finished product.”
The company initiated the recall after being informed by the packaging supplier that it had started a production run of defective packages.
“PT Organics’ inspections of finished product made with the recalled packaging confirmed the presence of a strand of soft, food-grade plastic attached to the inside of a small number of pouches,” the FDA recall says.
The pouches were sold nationwide at stores including Target between March 6 and July 13 of this year. According to the FDA, no injuries have been reported, and no other Pumpkin Tree brand products or flavors were impacted.
The affected pouches contain a best-before date of Jan. 19, 2027, Jan. 20, 2027, March 13, 2027, May 14, 2027 and May 15, 2027. They also have a barcode of 8 15367 01078 0.
Consumers who have these pouches are advised to return them to the store where they were purchased or discard them.
