Once Upon a Farm Recalls Bars over Potentially Fatal Choking Hazard for Toddlers

The agency cited several choking reports in children ages 1.5 to 2.5 and urged consumers to discard all flavors and lots.

  • On Friday, October 30, 2026, the FDA announced a nationwide recall of Once Upon a Farm Tractor Wheels Organic Toddler Soft-Baked Bars after reports of toddlers ages 1.5 to 2.5 years suffering complete airway obstruction.
  • When chewed, the product reportedly forms a "dry, sticky mass" that standard choking interventions including back blows and the Heimlich maneuver may fail to dislodge, the FDA stated.
  • Retailers including Walmart, Target, Costco, and Amazon distributed the affected products nationwide, and consumers must discard all varieties regardless of expiration date or lot code.
  • Once Upon a Farm agreed to initiate a voluntary recall and is offering full refunds for returned products, stating the company "fell short" of parental trust.
  • Anyone experiencing a choking emergency should seek immediate medical attention, with the FDA advising customers to call 911 if first-aid efforts to clear the obstruction fail.
