Baby & Infant Food Recalls

This page lists FDA recalls of baby and infant food products, newest first, generated from the FDA food enforcement data feed. Each entry links to a permanent record of that recall, with the reason, UPCs, and lot codes as reported by the FDA. Every entry below is a historical record of a recall announced on the date shown; it does not mean the product is being recalled today.

This list is filtered to baby and infant food and may not include every relevant recall. For the complete, current list, search the FDA website.

Recall classes: how serious is it?

The FDA sorts recalls into three classes by how much risk the product poses. Knowing the class tells you how urgently to act.

Of the 191 recalls listed on this page: 78 Class I, 105 Class II, 8 Class III.

How to check the package in your kitchen

A recall almost never means "every jar of this brand, ever." It means a specific run of a specific product. To know whether the package in your kitchen is affected, you need to match the identifiers in the recall notice against the ones printed on your package:

• Product name and brand (exact, including the variety or flavor)
• UPC / barcode number (the 12-digit number under the barcode)
• Lot or batch code (often a string of letters and numbers near the seam or bottom)
• "Best by," "use by," or expiration date
• Package size (a 4-oz jar and an 8-oz jar can be different lots)

If the notice lists specific lot codes and yours isn't on the list, your package likely isn't part of the recall. If you can't find the codes, or they're worn off, the safe move is to treat it as recalled and not feed it.

If your product is recalled: stop using it. Most notices tell you to either dispose of it or return it to the store for a refund. Don't donate it or pass it along. If your child has already eaten it and you have any concern, call your pediatrician, and in an emergency call 911 (US) or your local emergency number.

For how recalls work, where the official sources live, and why imported foods are harder to check, read the guide: How to Check If Your Baby's Food Has Been Recalled.

One honest caveat about automatic checkers (including ours). Baby Ledger AI's recall cross-check runs against the FDA recall feed specifically. That covers the large majority of packaged baby foods, snacks, and formula, but it is not every recall in existence. USDA-regulated meat and poultry products, and any product not in the FDA feed, won't be caught by an FDA-only check. For full coverage, pair any app with the FDA page, FoodSafety.gov, and FSIS above. No tool replaces reading the label and signing up for the official alerts.

Check future recalls automatically

The AllerSee scanner built into Baby Ledger AI cross-checks every barcode you scan against the FDA recall feed automatically, and cross-references the ingredients against your own child's allergen profile at the same time. The allergen and recall checks are free and unlimited on every plan. It's there so you don't have to refresh a government website every morning, not as a substitute for the official sources or for your pediatrician's guidance.
