Recalls

Baby biscuits sold by Publix, Walmart, Target, others could have paper, plastic

Gerber recalled 21 batches of Gerber Arrowroot Biscuits for babies nationwide because there’s a “potential presence of soft plastic and/or paper pieces that should not be consumed.”

That’s from the recall notice on the Gerber site that Publix reposted to the recall portion of its website on Tuesday. Walmart and Target joined Publix later in the week.

The problem, Gerber said, “comes from an arrowroot flour supplier who initiated a recall. We are no longer working with the flour supplier.”
