Eco Child’s Play

If you feed your little one Plum Organics, here’s a baby food recall you need to know about. The organic baby food company issued a voluntary recall yesterday due to a botulism danger. The only product affected is the Apple and Carrot Portable Pouch, which comes in a 4.22 ounce bag.

The pouches are being pulled from store shelves because of a potential risk of Clostridium botulinum contamination, which can cause botulism, a sometimes life-threatening condition that you clearly don’t want to mess around with.

In a letter on the Plum Organics website, founder Gigi Lee Chang explains that “after a routine test determined the formulation was incorrect. Plum Organics immediately investigated the matter and confirmed that a mixing error was to blame which resulted in an improper blend of carrots and apples.”

While no illnesses have been reported and there is no evidence of botulism, you should not feed your baby the affected food. If you have any Apple and Carrot Portable Pouches, check the bottom of the package. Return them to the Toys R Us or Babies R Us store where you bought them if the “best by” date is May 21, 2010 and the UPC code is 890180001221. You’ll get a full refund for the recalled baby food.

You can rest assured that Plum Organics, the leading premium organic food brand in the US, has done extensive testing on the batches made before and after the bad batch to ensure others met the company’s standards for quality and safety. So you can go on feeding your baby healthy, organic food.
