If you recently purchased Gerber® Arrowroot Biscuits (5.5 oz), take a moment to check the batch code. A limited number of batches have been voluntarily recalled due to the potential presence of soft plastic and/or paper pieces.
According to the company, the material originated from an arrowroot flour supplier that initiated its own recall. Gerber states it is no longer working with that supplier.
Important:
- No illnesses or injuries have been reported
- The recall is being conducted out of an abundance of caution
- No other Gerber® products are affected
The recall is nationwide in the United States.
