• Publix recalled its GreenWise Pear, Kiwi, Spinach & Pea Baby Food pouches due to potential lead contamination.

• This recall follows a similar recall of Target’s Good & Gather baby food product last month.

Check your shelves: Publix recalled one of its Greenwise baby food pouches due to the potential of elevated levels of lead contamination.

The Florida-based grocery store chain initiated a voluntary recall on May 9 for GreenWise Pear, Kiwi, Spinach & Pea Baby Food, from Bowman Andros LLC, a fruit processing factory in Virginia.

Even low levels of lead have been shown to affect learning and the ability to pay attention, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Most children exposed to lead have no obvious immediate symptoms and may need a blood lead test.

“As part of our commitment to food safety, potentially impacted products have been removed from all store shelves,” said Publix Director of Communications Maria Brous in a release. “To date, there have been no reported cases of illness.”

The recall comes just under a month after Target recalled one of its own store-brand baby food products due to elevated lead levels. The national chain recalled 26,500 units of Good & Gather baby Pea, Zucchini, Kale & Thyme Vegetable Purèe from Miami-based Fruselva USA.
