Lead in 2 Oregon infants’ blood linked to recalled baby food sold at Target
POLK COUNTY, OREGON, JUL 3 – The recalled Good & Gather baby food was linked to elevated lead levels in two infants, with over 25,000 packages pulled from Target stores in March, officials said.
- The Oregon Health Authority reported two infants had elevated blood lead levels linked to recalled Good & Gather baby food sold at Target stores in March 2025.
- The recall was initiated after more than 25,000 four-ounce containers of a baby food blend containing pea, zucchini, kale, and thyme were found to be potentially unsafe, and these products were distributed nationwide at Target stores.
- OHA urged parents to avoid the product, dispose of existing containers immediately, and watch for signs of lead exposure, which can be hard to detect without blood testing.
- The FDA designated the recall as Class II, indicating that exposure to the product may lead to short-term or reversible health effects, and the recall was concluded on May 7.
- Although OHA indicated that serious health effects are unlikely, experts stress that any level of lead exposure is unsafe for children due to potential long-term damage to their nervous system.
