Publix recalls baby food pouches after testing finds elevated levels of lead

  • On May 9, Publix initiated a voluntary recall of certain baby food pouches containing fruit and vegetable ingredients after testing revealed the presence of elevated lead levels in products distributed across eight states.
  • The recall followed routine sampling that identified 13.4 parts per billion of lead, exceeding the FDA limit of 10 parts per billion for baby foods.
  • In 2023, North Carolina officials were the first to identify contamination during a lead poisoning outbreak involving applesauce pouches, which affected more than 500 children.
  • Publix removed all potentially contaminated products from more than 1,400 stores and said no illnesses have been reported related to this recall.
  • This recall marks the second baby food pouch lead contamination case in two months, underlining the ongoing risk of lead exposure which the CDC states has no safe level.
