ARLINGTON, Va. — Gerber Products Company issued a voluntary nationwide recall of one of its baby snacks on Monday because of the possibility it contained “foreign material,” federal officials said.
The Arlington, Virginia-based company, in a news release that was also posted to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration website, stated that some lots of its Arrowroot Biscuits may contain soft plastic and/or paper pieces due to its arrowroot flour supplier.
“We are no longer working with the flour supplier,” Gerber said in its statement.
The recall involves limited batches of 5.5-ounce packages of Gerber Arrowroot Biscuits produced between July and September 2025, the FDA said.
