According to WILX, the product was made by Miami-based Fruselva and distributed exclusively at Target stores, including several in Michigan.

Target's Recalled Baby Food Lot Numbers

Not all Pea, Zucchini, Kale & Thyme Vegetable Puree was contaminated, so check your pantry for the following lot numbers and expiration dates:

• Lot #4167
  • Best By Date of December 7, 2025
• Lot #4169
  • Best By Date of December 9, 2025

According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the recall began in March as a Class II recall. This means the food is unlikely to cause life-threatening health problems but may lead to temporary or reversible health issues. That's still serious enough for babies and nervous parents.
