Gerber is working to retrieve from retailers and online stores the remaining pouches from the four affected batches of GERBER® Organic 2ND FOOD pouches that fail to meet their quality standards. The company is offering replacement coupons for consumers who purchased the following products:

This recall does not impact any other Gerber pouches, other Gerber products or products outside of the US.
Consumers may notice that, in some cases, the pouches are bloated and product inside may have an off taste or odor. There have been three consumer reports of temporary gastrointestinal symptoms, however, the company has been unable to confirm that these are related to the product.
