Beech-Nut has recalled 1,920 pounds of baby food that may be contaminated with small pieces of glass, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS).
The recall affects four-ounce glass jars labeled “Stage 2 Beech-Nut CLASSICS sweet potato & chicken” that were produced on Dec. 12, 2014 and which were shipped to retail locations “nationwide,” according to a USDA news release. The recalled jars show the establishment number “P-68A” inside the USDA mark of inspection. The affected product expires in “DEC 2016” and includes product numbers “12395750815” through “12395750821.”
The problem was discovered after Amsterdam, N.Y.-based Beech-Nut Nutrition received a complaint from a consumer who found a small piece of glass in the product. The company has received a report of a mouth injury associated with consumption of the affected baby food.
The USDA said consumers with questions about the recall should contact the Beech-Nut Consumer Hotline at (866) 674-4446.
