Fruit puree pouches sold at Kroger, Meijer and Target recalled

Sr Digital Curator

Fruit puree pouches sold nationwide at Kroger, Meijer and Target stores have been recalled because soft plastic may enter the product.

According to a notice from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, PT Organics Limited of Lake Oswego, Oregon, is voluntarily recalling certain Pumpkin Tree Peter Rabbit Organics Banana and Strawberry 4 oz. pouches “because of an internal packaging defect that may result in the presence of a strand of soft, food-grade plastic in the finished product.”

The recall was initiated after a packaging supplier recalled some defective pouches. Upon further inspection, PT Organics confirmed that products made with the recalled packaging had the presence of a strand of soft, food-grade plastic attached to the inside of a small number of pouches.

The recalled pouches were sold exclusively through Kroger, Meijer and Target between March 6 and July 13.

The following codes are on the pouches included in this recall:

• Barcode: 8 15367 01078 0
• Lane number – identified by the number 4 printed on the rear right-hand side seam
• Best-Before-Date of 01/19/2027, 01/20/2027, 03/17/2027, 03/18/2027, 05/14/2027, or 05/15/2027.

No injuries have been reported, and no other Pumpkin Tree branded products, flavors or best-before-dates are impacted by this recall.

If you have the recalled product in your kitchen, dispose of it or return it to the store where it was purchased.
